[Verse 1: Mars Today]
I remember when we used to
Talk about our lives
Promise that we'd always try
Guess that makes us both liars, liars, 'cause
Even when we wasn't good
We'd try to play along
Pretending that we were strong
Adding more fuel to the fire, fire
So cool, all the games that we used to play
Sit around and plan on all our future days
Talk about how we'd look when we were grave
And when we would retire-tire
Now I think that we should throw it away
'Cause we've been broken for days
And we're so stuck in waves
I don't see us making it, so quit fakin' it
[Chorus: Mars Today]
So quit fakin', fakin'
Baby, why you fakin', fakin'?
And lately, I've been fakin', fakin'
'Cause I don't see us makin' it, so quit fakin' it
So quit fakin', fakin'
Oh, baby, why you fakin', fakin'?
And lately, I've been fakin', fakin'
I don't see us makin' it, so quit fakin' it
[Verse 2: Maurice Moore, Khary]
This shit right here is suicide, I'm prepared to die
Your mom gon' call with no reply, and she gon' be surprised
You say you love me, girl, you lie, and we argue all the time
Half the time when we be fuckin', you can't look me in the eye
But you want that work, oh yeah, you don't even phone me
When I'm in it, you don't fake it, but that's the only time you're my
Girl, yeah
Only when you're honies when you're blowing up the phone
I was willing to give you all my love (But you're fakin' it)
Now, I'm fallin' out of all that the game is too much
No I can take it
But I'll forget it all when you're naked, so, baby, why you fakin'? (Uh)
[Verse 3: Khary]
I feel like we're fakin' love, you don't give, I'm takin' love
I mean, our sex isn't bad, you go down and make it up
In my heart I had a rope so, I lasso'd the moon for you
But you were too down to Earth, and I was trying to be a star
Would've crashed if we had a car, drunken love if we had a bar
Why you got to put it all on my tab? We used to go half, like fifty yards
I'm open in the end zone, it feel like the friend-zone, I got in-toed
I know light-skinned niggas are still in style, so it can't be because of my skin tone
What's the point of begging for you to stay though, stay though?
I heard you be chillin' with Masego-sego
Summertime, you used to be my baby, yeah
But we've gone to the grave from the cradle, cradle
I know things about you that no one else knows, you like shell toes, don't like shellfish
Jailbreak cellphones, think I'm selfish? Got two tattoos above your pelvis
One says "Unchained Melodies" next to blue suede shoes, 'cause you like Elvis
I know everything about you, so I know when you're being overzealous
[Interlude: Khary]
Life's like a long funeral
So love is just a tomb for two
And if we both know that this isn't love
Then how 'bout we make room for the truth?
'Cause I'd love to see you
Smile sometime
Even if it ain't with me
Yeah
[Chorus: Mars Today]
So quit fakin', fakin'
Baby, why you fakin', fakin'?
And lately, I've been fakin', fakin'
'Cause I don't see us makin' it, so quit fakin' it
So quit fakin', fakin'
Oh, baby, why you fakin', fakin'?
And lately, I've been fakin', fakin'
I don't see us makin' it, so quit fakin' it
