Fake Star

I see you whispering across the room

Spreading your rumors and a lot of gloom

You say my name when you think I can't hear

Making my friends suddenly disappear

You think you won and you locked the door

Leaving me standing alone on the floor

But I see right through the game that you play

No matter how much you try to take away

You can’t have the crowd, you can’t have the crew

You can't change what I know is true

Yeah, you try to act so tough and mean

But you’re the fake star of a fake scene

I used to sit and wonder what I did wrong

Wondering why I didn't belong

But I’m not the problem, and I'm not gonna hide

You can tell your lies, but I won't take your side

I got my scars, but they’re part of me

I'm breaking the chains, I'm finally free

You built your throne from secrets and spite

But the cracks show in the coldest light

I see the mask slipping off your face

Truth always finds its place

But I see right through the game that you play

No matter how much you try to take away

You can’t have the crowd, you can’t have the crew

You can't change what I know is true

Yeah, you try to act so tough and mean

But you’re the fake star of a fake scene

All the shadows you cast will fade at dawn

What you break will never keep you strong

I'm done believing every empty word

My voice is louder now, I will be heard

But I see right through the game that you play

No matter how much you try to take away

You can’t have the crowd, you can’t have the crew

You can't change what I know is true

Yeah, you try to act so tough and mean

But you’re the fake star of a fake sceneSo cue the lights, the truth appears

I'm moving on, leaving my fears

You're just a shadow in my rearview
