It's the last day of school
I just broke up with my girlfriend
You ask me out for drinks
I know how this is gonna end
We get a little tipsy
When we're out at the bar
You start playing with my hair
bi-curious, you are
fake, fake
you make me feel so down
Now don't get me wrong
Sometimes I like to make out
But oh, Ms. Lovely Lady
That's not just what it's about
Still, you seem more genuine
Than the others in this town
More genuine out here...
Where things are kinda watered down
fake, fake
you make me feel so...
I'm intrigued and my heart caves
As you call me every day
You say I think of things
Your husband doesn't do or say
Your supportive rainbow flag
Has another side that's red
They both start to fade
as we make our way
into your bed
fake, fake
you make me feel so...
fake, fake
You're in love with me
& I'm in love with you
How very inconvenient
When you don't know what to do
You say that you can love me
But it has to be your way
You say that you can love me
'til he comes home
at the end of the day
fake, fake
you, you, you...
fake, fake
You call yourself a feminist
but that's not so empowered
'Cos when it comes to feelings
You're really just a coward
You dipped your toe in the pond
Then you ran from the lake
'Cos you're SO FAKE
It makes me feel so...
down
down
down
down
down & down & down & down
[voice montage]
A few months have passed
Depression hit like no other
I cried & drank & lost my mind
(Felt) ashamed as a mother
You look so sad and empty now
when I see you around
You don't deserve to know now
about the brilliant new love that I've found
fake, fake
you made me feel so
fake, fake
you really knocked me down
down
and
down
and
down
and
down
fake, fake
