lyrics

you
you're always faking
hair-dyed blonde telling everyone
"it's how God made it"

you never tell the truth
I've been knowing you
you'll get over on your friends
to impress a stranger or two

but, I still love you
I still believe in you
I still believe you can improve

I still love you
I still believe in you
I still believe you can be real too

I know you're not the wisest
I know you're not that smart
I know you'll
eat out of the hand that feeds you
and tells you whatever you want

I know you like to debate
I know you like to philosophize
I know you like to
take another's idea and tell everyone
this is mine

[Chorus]

and I'm wondering
why you're always faking
why are you trying so hard
you think that your image will save you?

maybe you just don't know who you are....

I'm wondering
why you're always faking
why are you trying so hard
you really think the praises will save you?

maybe you just can't face who you are....

[Chorus]

I really know you to well....
