Lyrics
[Verse 1] You smile when you see me Then you turn it around Same hand on my shoulder Same mouth making sounds You talk in a circle You bend what was said Leave crumbs in the hallway Then call me your friend [Pre-Chorus] I read through the script now I know every line When the room gets smaller You step out of time [Chorus] Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure You want the shine You don’t want the weather Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure I feel it all But I stand up better [Verse 2] Group chat full of praise now Till the bill comes due Then your thumbs go quiet Like you never knew I kept my circle small, yeah Kept my door in view You came for the champagne Then you spilled the truth [Pre-Chorus] I see through the late laugh I hear the thin cheer When the lights go low, babe Your shape disappears [Chorus] Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure You want the shine You don’t want the weather Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure I feel it all But I stand up better [Bridge] I don’t need your favor I don’t need your chain I can carry hard days I can wear the rain You can keep the gossip Keep the borrowed glow I know who shows up When it’s cold and slow [Final Chorus] Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure You want the shine You don’t want the weather Fake friends, real pressure Fake friends, real pressure I feel it all But I stand up better
