Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

You shake my hand like a brother

Then turn your back before I leave the room

Sweet as sugar on the surface

Bitter underneath the pretty bloom

I watched you smile at my misfortune

I heard you laughing when I turned around

You wear a mask I used to trust in

Now it's lying facedown on the ground

Pre-Chorus

Every promise bends and breaks

Every kindness was a fake

You were never on my side

You were only on your ride

Chorus

Fake people fake people all around

Fake people fake people drag me down

I see the cracks I see the seams

Fake people fake people never what they seem

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Never what they seem

Oh-oh

Verse 2

You built a temple out of gossip

And called it loyalty to my face

You sold my secrets for a profit

Then asked me why I left the place

So take your prayers take your pity

Take the halo that you bought

I don't need your holy city

I don't need the war you fought

Pre-Chorus

Every promise bends and breaks

Every kindness was a fake

You were never on my side

You were only on your ride

Chorus

Fake people fake people all around

Fake people fake people drag me down

I see the cracks I see the seams

Fake people fake people never what they seem

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Never what they seem

Oh-oh

Bridge

You can keep your pretty speeches

Keep your sermon keep your crown

I was reaching for the heavens

You were reaching for the ground

So go on go on go on

Play the saint you always played

I'll be standing when you're gone

I'll be standing unafraid

Chorus

Fake people fake people all around

Fake people fake people drag me down

I see the cracks I see the seams

Fake people fake people never what they seem

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Never what they seem

Oh-oh

Never what they seem
