Faking Out - Elly

Falling into this role I’m playing

Careful 'bout what I’m sayin'

You don’t want to know the real me

Nervous so I put up boundaries

Conceal it, skirting 'round what I’m feeling

Routine and repetition

Worried that you’re gon' think less of me

Either way I know that I’ll be free

This time I’m letting my guard down

I don’t need any facades now

Finding this feeling I know how

No more faking out

No more faking out

I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes

Breaking through my disguise

Would you recognise me

Curtains drawing to a close

End of show, time to go

I’m not masquerading

Distance tearing my heart to pieces

Hoping to fill these spaces

Picture perfect chasing after me

A mask is but a ghost that you can see

This time I’m letting my guard down

I don’t need any facades now

Finding this feeling I know how

No more faking out

No more faking out

I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes

Breaking through my disguise

Would you recognise me

Curtains drawing to a close

End of show, time to go

I’m not masquerading

This time I’m letting my guard down

I don’t need any facades now

Finding this feeling I know how

No more faking out

No more faking out

This time I’m letting my guard down

I don’t need any facades now

Finding this feeling I know how

No more faking out

No more faking out

I can’t hide behind these plastic eyes

Breaking through my disguise

Would you recognise me

Curtains drawing to a close

End of show, time to go

I’m not masquerading
