Relationships today, what can I say?
They're like a joke or just something
all the players can play
Like let's get drunk and find somebody,
maybe then we will get laid
And we don't care about
relationships or people we break
I had some high school friends
that turned into snakes
They just wait for you to turn
so they can take, take, take
Turn back around and they are
reaching out their hand for a shake
It's kinda crazy looking back
on all the people who fake
And listen you won't find no love at the bar
Just a bunch of broken people
out to cover their scars
Who drink and drink and drink and drink
just to forget who they are
Find some temporary love
that only tears them apart
See, today everything is about sex
It's the reason you're at the bar
always spending your cheques
Hoping there's someone there
so you can take your mind off your ex
And go claim to someone new
that you are not like the rest
But really you just wanna cover a scar
And tomorrow you'll wake up
and just forget who they are
And now the person you used
is in the place that where you were
So they go drink and drink and drink
and find themselves at a bar
It's such a cruel cycle,
leaving us all on the brink
But we're too caught up in ourselves
that's why we never can think
Made a puzzle out of life
that I can never solve
I guess that's why I'm at the bar
with another drink
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away
Drinking all this pain away
I'll sit here and fade away
'Cause I can't find no other way
And I don't get this Instagram s**t
Like is yourself worth based
upon the likes that you get
I guess that's why you post the pictures
when you are looking your best
So maybe dudes can fantasize
over your ass or your chest
It's like we're needing approval
or someone's constant attention
And honestly all these things
are causing us tension
We think we're moving forward
but haven't made no progression
And after all this time you would think
we are learning our lesson
I f*****g hate it, stupid phone world
People walking around
inside of they own world
Never focused on the things
that actually matter in life
They are too busy checking pages
'bout their old girl
It's kinda funny right?
'cause i'm guilty too
I'm just simply one y'all
tryna make it through
But on my way
I'm tryna help a few of you
'Cause damn, it helps seeing things
from someone else's view
We are slowly losing connection
While tryna find some reception
It's sad that photoshopped girls
are representing perfection
We're not lost,
I just think we're needing direction
To focus on what matters,
not our likes or our mentions
And I'm not perfect,
but I swear I make this music for you
I ain't rapping 'bout my money,
I just give you the truth
'Cause life's hard and
everybody's dealing with issues
I just hope my music helps
you all escape for a few
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away
Drinking all this pain away
I'll sit here and fade away
'Cause I can't find no other way
Damn, it's such a tragedy ain't it?
We're stuck inside this cycle
that we f*****g created
And then we take to Twitter and tweet
how much we hate it
And then go out the next weekend and
keep the cycle remaining
See, I'm the sound of the truth
Tearing up all of these booths
I'm tryna heal a bunch of people
feeling empty and used
I understand your position,
so turn this up and just listen
And maybe we can make world
where hurt and pain is all fiction
