Fake Friends 🧡

**(Verse 1)** Yeah, started from the bottom, grinding day and night, Thought I had a circle tight, but it's all just smoke and lights, Fake smiles, fake love, can't distinguish wrong from right, In this game of snakes and ladders, who's really on my side? **(Pre-Chorus)** They say keep your enemies closer, but what about friends? Who pretend to ride or die, but leave you when it ends? It's a cold world, when loyalty is hard to find, Now I'm standing on my own, with these thoughts inside my mind. **(Chorus)** Fake friends, they come and go, Always there when they want something, then they hit the road, Fake love, it cuts deep like a knife, But I'm learning who to trust, and who's just playing with my life. **(Verse 2)** I remember days when we used to dream big, But when the going got tough, you disappeared, you quit, Fairweather friends, only there for the highs, But when I needed you the most, you were nowhere in sight. **(Pre-Chorus)** They say keep your circle small, and I'm starting to see why, Can't afford to let these wolves disguise as sheep inside, It's a lonely road, when you're searching for real, But I'd rather stand alone than with those who never feel. **(Chorus)** Fake friends, they come and go, Always there when they want something, then they hit the road, Fake love, it cuts deep like a knife, But I'm learning who to trust, and who's just playing with my life. **(Bridge)** Now I'm building up my walls, protecting what is true, Gotta stay grounded, 'cause the fakes will misconstrue, Every scar tells a story, every lesson learned, I'm stronger now, 'cause through the fire, I've discerned. **(Chorus)** Fake friends, they come and go, Always there when they want something, then they hit the road, Fake love, it cuts deep like a knife, But I'm learning who to trust, and who's just playing with my life. **(Outro)** Yeah, fake friends, they come and go, But I'll rise above, 'cause now I know, True bonds, they're built on trust and respect, I'll keep my circle tight, 'cause real love is what I expect.
