Fake It Well

She told me, I don't realize
That I'm not up to live this life.
I said, "You know it's not a joke,
You see, I'm just broke."
I listen when it works for me,
She smokes, but I can't really see,
My friends are waiting by the street
So I'll just leave.

I can't stop once I'm on my way,
I find it hard on me today,
But you'll catch up and make it hell,
I can fake it well.
I can't stop once I'm in the car,
Most likely end up at the bar,
Maybe a drink will make it seem
We're not that far.

Look at it my way, or am I talking too plain?
I'd just like to help but I get in the way.
If it's up to me, I'd just take all of the blame,
But it's not gonna give 'cause you don't wanna stay.

"Don't look at me like that," she says,
I've had enough.
"So don't look at me like that," she says,
I've had enough.

But it's not gonna give 'cause you don't wanna stay.
It's all gone to shit, and am I talking too clear?
I just don't fit in, when I'd rather stand out.
It's still up to me, and I want it this way,
But it's not gonna work 'cause you don't wanna stay.
