Fake Friends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got your number, in many ways
You like the drama, so what you saying now?
This game we're playing now, where we pretend that we're good?
You're not forgiven for what you did
But out in public, we're in the same clique
Think I can work with this, I got you understood

[Hook]
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends

[Verse 2]
I know the story that no one's seen
But I'm not innocent, so let's not come clean

Let's play respectfully
We ain't got nothing to say
And I still stand by the things I said
You may trick others, but you're not in my head
This rivalry ain't dead, unless we're up on a stage

[Hook]
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends
Just know your role and we'll be fake friends

Genius Annotation

On “Fake Friends,” Emma Blackery doesn’t want to play the part.

The brooding 80’s influenced electropop track appears on her debut album Villains which was released on August 31, 2018.

Blackery teased the song via Instagram two days before it’s release saying:

i wrote this when everyone told me he was “nice, really.” when i was gaslighted into believing i must be crazy to think he could be a bad person. a lot’s changed since then. when i cut ties with someone, trust me. if you see me running away, run with me. or don’t; i love being proven right.

On the back of the vinyl-album artwork, the track list has little messages explaining what each song is directed towards. This song is: ‘For The Narcissist.’
