Fake Friends Lyrics
[Intro]
Hoo!
Wah!
[Verse 1]
When you were down, they were never there
When you're all alone, you really get to learn
If you get back up, they're gonna come around
All the sycophants, they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you
What you wanna hear and you pretend
'Cause they all agree you're supposed to have
A better life but you're feelin' worse
And they build you up 'til you fool yourself
That you're something else and it's like a curse
'Cause you can't live up to what they made of you
And they tell you that you're losin' friends
[Chorus]
Losin' friends, losin' friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
[Bridge]
Huah!
Woo, uh
Woo
Oh, get out!
Woo, woo-hoo
Alright!
Hoo!
Wah!
[Verse 1]
When you were down, they were never there
When you're all alone, you really get to learn
If you get back up, they're gonna come around
All the sycophants, they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you
What you wanna hear and you pretend
'Cause they all agree you're supposed to have
A better life but you're feelin' worse
And they build you up 'til you fool yourself
That you're something else and it's like a curse
'Cause you can't live up to what they made of you
And they tell you that you're losin' friends
[Chorus]
Losin' friends, losin' friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
[Bridge]
Huah!
Woo, uh
Woo
Oh, get out!
Woo, woo-hoo
Alright!
[Verse 2]
You go and tell 'em you were king of the hill
When you need a hand - that was yesterday!
You see 'em laugh while you're on your knees
And it breaks your heart 'cause you gave so much
And you can't believe that you hit the ground
And you notice you've been losin' friends
[Chorus]
Losin' friends, losin' friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
[Outro]
(Oh, no, woo)
Losin' friends, losin' friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
Fake friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
Fake friends
Fake friends
Woo, alright
Haha

(Oh, no, woo)
Losin' friends, losin' friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
Fake friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
You got nothin' to lose
You don't lose when you lose fake friends
Fake friends
Fake friends
Woo, alright
Haha
