Fake Nice Lyrics by Carlile

Human Human

[Verse 1]
Another late night function with your hype-machine friends
And their post-ironic trends
Another drink accompanied by keeping it light
And making clear there's an end
I never thought I'd let you get so close to my heart
So close to the love I give
But here I am, my heart in hand
When right from the start you chose not to let me in

[Chorus]
Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings
Run at the thought of having to watch you cry
(You never let me cry)
(You nеver let me cry)
Nеver wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions
Not long as I'm alive
(Not long as I'm alive)
(Not long as I'm alive)

[Verse 2]
I thought I was a lucky one
Surrounded by beauty, love, and a pinch of grace
(You're gorgeous, yeah, you're gorgeous)
(You're gorgeous, yeah, you're gorgeous)
I thought I chose them carefully
But now I can see it's all just a numbers race
('Nother one, a new one gone and replaced the other one)
(Beautiful does not outweigh the way that you chose to run)
I guess I know my place in it
But hoped you would be here, hoped you would be my friend
(Bish, I needed you)
(Bish, I needed you)
You call it helpless happenstance
But knew from the start your choice was to be like them
(It wasn't you)
(It wasn't you)

[Chorus]
Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings
Run at the thought of having to watch you cry
(You never let me cry)
(You never let me cry)
Never wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions
Not long as I'm alive
(Not long as I'm alive)
(Not long as I'm alive)

[Interlude]
I know you did your best
And I know I have a habit of pushing people until they leave
My style of love is intense, I get it
I just wanted a friend
I wanted you to be my friend
But I guess it worked out, because it was a lesson in
Time and space and healing
That we all know I wouldn't have given myself
So, I don't know
Thanks, I guess?
I mean
You were always worth the wait

[Chorus]
Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings
Run at the thought of having to watch you cry
(You never let me cry)
(You never let me cry)
Never wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions
Not long as I'm alive
(Not long as I'm alive)
(Not long as I'm alive)

[Outro]
Come closer, won't you let me in?
Come closer, won't you let me in? (Come closer, won't you let me in?)
Come closer, won't you let me in? (I love you, won't you let me in?)
