Sometimes I feel like I don't belong like I'm not part of the click
Like life's an inside joke and nobody has told it
My friends all flirt with whores but I could give a damn
Love like that ain't worth a cent and that's just the way I am
They always try to be something that they're not
I just try to be myself and enjoy the things I got
You can't fake love, you can't fake pain
You can't fake those suicidal thoughts that flow into your brain
You can't fake rich and you can't fake cool
You can't fake a lie when you're staring straight at the truth
It's not a game you can play with friends or a melody in the dark
You've got to feel it deep down in your soul cause it comes straight from the heart
I know that I have dreams and they're bigger than the stars
I know this road is long and the rocks I walk are hard
I know where I come from and I realize who I am
I know what I feel inside and I know when to take a stand
I won't stand idly by and let society break me down
I won't give up without a fight and lose the prizes that abound
You can't fake love, you can't fake pain
You can't fake those suicidal thoughts that flow into your brain
You can't fake rich and you can't fake cool
You can't fake a lie when you're staring straight at the truth
It's not a game you can play with friends or a melody in the dark
You've got to feel it deep down in your soul cause it comes straight from the heart
Well I never was a preacher so it's not my place to judge
Never been a fighter and I can't say I'm ever loved
Charity is for the poor and leave your pity at the door
I just want to live my life and always strive for more
It's still a shame though that you ain't got very far
No matter what happens to me just remember who you are
You can't fake love, you can't fake pain
You can't fake those suicidal thoughts that flow into your brain
You can't fake rich and you can't fake cool
You can't fake a lie when you're staring straight at the truth
It's not a game you can play with friends or a melody in the dark
You've got to feel it deep down in your soul cause it comes straight from the heart
