Counterfeit Lyrics

So insecure and unispired
I never sleep so im always tired
I try to listen but im too wired
put up a front so i dont get fired

I try too hard to be smart and funny
pretend like theres more to my life then money
I've givin up on achieveing perfection
but i have perfected the art of deception

Chorus-
Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit
I said Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit
Life is a hazy daze, chaotic escapade
Its getting me high by making me low
I feel so Shallow, I feel so Shallow

So inconsistent and overrated
Rip out my heart while my egos inflated
I get a kick out of being persistent
push me away and increase the resistance

Keeping your secrets is too confidential
Spreading the lie that is too much potential
Call me fake call me lost and conceited
I may be weak but i won't be defeated

Chorus (x2)
Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit
I said Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit
Life is a hazy daze, chaotic escapade
Its getting me high by making me low
I feel so Shallow, I feel so Shallow

So insecure and unispired
I never sleep so im always tired
I try to listen but im too wired

Chorus-
Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit
I said Hey, all of my confidence is completely counterfeit

Life is a hazy daze, chaotic escapade
Its getting me high by making me low
I feel so Shallow, I feel so Shallow

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.

He works all day in an office and life just doesn't seem right. He pretends to be confident but deep inside he is the total opposite.
