[Intro]
AmHold up, Fwhy you so fake to me
Why you so faCke to me
And whEmy do you wanna set me free
I don't knAmow you anymorFe
Get out of my dCoor pleaseEm  
[Verse 1]
AmStarted out as good friends
FUsed to talk about the times on the weekends
And I swCear that we would love it like the greatest
Girl I mEmean that, girl I meant that
AmAnd when some people would go ahead and hate us
FWe didn't care but we just kept up
CEverybody still would say that we were fake, thus
They would brEmeak us, but we never broke up
AmAnd then I screwed up
FDon't know how that ever happened but you know it came up
CSo I stayed up every day until the breakup
EmInside I was bankrupt, denied my only dreams of
AmLiving life, but with no freedom
FBut it never ever never ever didn't mean 'none
CJust to find out that you fake
EmYou talk behind my back and you lie to my face
Took my heAmart, took my mind, took my love, took my name
Took my soFul, took my spine, took my bones, let me wait
Give it baCck, back the love, back the tears, back the shame,
Back my secEmrets, back the time that I spent on your game
AmAnd I don't know why you ever left me astray
FI just hope so much, girl I hope and pray
CThat you change, that you change
EmThat you stay away
[Verse 2]
AmSometimes I miss you wondering back at all our conversations
FWe never seemed to find the current balance of the equation
CI feel like all of that got lost in the shady communication
EmNow my space is just at two really separate locations
AmBut when I hear our song play I still think about you
FI've had some dreams about you, everything reminds me of you
COur memories change my mood, bring me back to old attitudes
EmSmiling like an idiot, so how could I think that I'd miss you
AmMiss you more than every time that my heart beats
FBut it don't beat no more, the beep's decreased
CCaused the crease you left, you can't press release
EmI sold you my love, now you put it back on lease
AmYou made me love a little, cry, and now I cry a little more
FYou tried to put my life on pause and I don't even know what for
CCould have just walked out that door
EmLet me know you're trying to show your face
And I only think that you're just that
AmWho was there to trust, lost all the things I thought we had
FI lost us, I lost everything we used to that
CBut you're immune to that, and I hate it
EmLove me or love me not, instead you faked it
AmBreak it, I never knew it'd addictive till I tried to stop
FAnd now I'm moving on, rising up to the top
CForget about what we had, find another new path
EmReminiscing the past, and trust issues I have
[Chorus]
AmHold up, Fwhy you so fake to me
Why you so faCke to me
And whEmy do you wanna set me free
I don't knAmow you anymorFe
Get out of my dCoor pleaseEm

C Em

Get out of my door please

[Verse 1]

Started out as good friends

Used to talk about the times on the weekends

And I swear that we would love it like the greatest

Girl I mean that, girl I meant that

And when some people would go ahead and hate us

We didn't care but we just kept up

Everybody still would say that we were fake, thus

They would break us, but we never broke up

And then I screwed up

Don't know how that ever happened but you know it came up

So I stayed up every day until the breakup

Inside I was bankrupt, denied my only dreams of

Living life, but with no freedom

But it never ever never ever didn't mean 'none

Just to find out that you fake

You talk behind my back and you lie to my face

Took my heart, took my mind, took my love, took my name

Took my soul, took my spine, took my bones, let me wait

Give it back, back the love, back the tears, back the shame,

Back my secrets, back the time that I spent on your game

And I don't know why you ever left me astray

I just hope so much, girl I hope and pray

That you change, that you change

That you stay away

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I miss you wondering back at all our conversations

We never seemed to find the current balance of the equation

I feel like all of that got lost in the shady communication

Now my space is just at two really separate locations

But when I hear our song play I still think about you

I've had some dreams about you, everything reminds me of you

Our memories change my mood, bring me back to old attitudes

Smiling like an idiot, so how could I think that I'd miss you

Miss you more than every time that my heart beats

But it don't beat no more, the beep's decreased

Caused the crease you left, you can't press release

I sold you my love, now you put it back on lease

You made me love a little, cry, and now I cry a little more

You tried to put my life on pause and I don't even know what for

Could have just walked out that door

Let me know you're trying to show your face

And I only think that you're just that

Who was there to trust, lost all the things I thought we had

I lost us, I lost everything we used to that

But you're immune to that, and I hate it

Love me or love me not, instead you faked it

Break it, I never knew it'd addictive till I tried to stop

And now I'm moving on, rising up to the top

Forget about what we had, find another new path

Reminiscing the past, and trust issues I have

[Chorus]

Am F

Hold up, why you so fake to me

Why you so fake to me

And why do you wanna set me free

Am F

I don't know you anymore

C Em

Get out of my door please
