[Verse 1]
We're all trying
To tell who's lying
And choose just what to believe
We're second nature
To placate ya
I wear my emotions on a sleeve
I always try my best to put the rest to second guessers and I'm
Well aware that misery loves company
Instead I'm trying to run around on things that we can't settle on
Why don't we stop and see the person standing there?
And
[Pre-Chorus]
Just because it feels good
Doesn't make it real to me
[Chorus]
Authenticity
Is what I need
'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me
I can't believe
Just anything
When you make it up so easily
[Verse 2]
Why you lying?
So much denying
What I see on TV, and what I read, and even what they're writing
We come to believe these lies so comfortably
We tend to propagate opinions so recklessly
And it's a fine line
That separates the screen from reality
A meme is just a meme
And I feel like we should know this, but I don't believe we do
We've got to keep on trekking
Keep our eyes on what we know is true
[Pre-Chorus]
Just because it feels good
Doesn't make it real to me
[Chorus]
Authenticity
Is what I need
'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me
I can't believe
Just anything
When you make it up so easily
Authenticity
Is my plea
'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me
Your honesty
Is what I breathe
So tell me you'll be good to me
[Bridge]
When it feels surreal (so real)
It makes me wanna believe (do you believe?)
What I really need is authenticity
[Chorus]
Authenticity
Is my plea
'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me
Your honesty
Is what I breathe
So tell me you'll be good to me
[Outro]
Just because it feels good
Doesn't make it real to me (tell me you'll be good to me)
Doesn't make it real to me (tell me you'll be good to me)
