If We Don't Make It, We'll Fake It Lyrics

Tell me is my time is wasted? Or am I ok? Would you be friends with me on any other day? Well. I know we've been through this before. But I remember thinking that we were through. N-N-N-Nothing would matter if it was me and you. If we were naked we'd make it yeah me and you. Don't ever fake it or baby I say we're through. If I could shake it I'd shake it just for you. If we don't make it we'll just fake it and see this through. When this is going down I see you running out. You better keep your word or you can shut yourï¿½

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I actually prefer the lyrics written in paragraph form because it feels like more of a narrative that way. When it's typed "verse chorus verse repeat verse" it feels like "these are the words we needed to rhyme with each other" rather than "these are the experiences and emotions we needed to write about."

no these lyrics seem correct. i just read them while listening to the song. if you want to be a real butthole about it, why dont you complain how he forgot the "yeah" in between "id shake it" and "just like you"?
