Can't Even Fake It Lyrics

You were once my philosopher
You and me side by side
Like vines that grow together
You were once my favorite preacher
You told your stories well
And I was your believer
So far, from my heart now you've been fading
So long, so long
Now I can't even make it
Can't even feel it
Can't even fake it
Can't even lie and lie and lie and lie
Can't even make it
You and I sit on the park bench
Staring at the rain
Let's talk about the weather
Now I'm thinking to myself
What more can I do
No joy, no pain, but silence

So far, from my heart now you've been fading
So long, so long
Now I can't even make it
Can't even feel it
Can't even fake it
Can't even lie and lie and lie and lie

All the love, and desire
Have become perfect liars
So let it die

So far, from my heart now you've been fading
So long, so long
Now I can't even make it
Can't even feel it
Can't even fake it
Can't even lie and lie and lie and lie
Can't even make it
Never

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.

K,don't even care avout the lyrics, just the song name! "Can't even fake it" reminds me of adult men TRYING to act out 8th grade drama scripts handed out by the drama teacher. Been observing this for a year now. While every one else gets so emotionally involved, I am like, "hey bartender, this one's gotta be on the house"
