[English]

I do anything that I'm told to

I even mean it if I'm supposed to

Lead me on a little, I go for broke

Lead me on some more

I go for the big toke

Everybody's watching, but nobody cares

Oh wait, does it go

Nobody's watching, but everybody cares

Oh whatever talk to you later

Look out, 'cause I'm just too fake for the world

I know it's just a game to me

I'm just too fake you see

I wish I didn't have to be, but watch out

I got too much soul for the world

It's breaking my heart in two

I got too much soul for you

I don't like it but it's true

I go to church if I'm expected to

I'll be lost soul

They need examples to use

I could stay forever or leave right now

It's your call, either way

It's time to use my life for myself

(Most people just won't tell you that)

I'm gonna use my life for someone else, yeah

No wait wait wait wait

Look out, 'cause I'm just too fake for the world

Oh you know it's just a game to me

I'm just too fake you see

I wish I didn't have to be, but

Oh I got too much soul for the world

And it's breaking my heart in two

I got too much soul for you

I don't like it but it's true

I can't even talk to you

About my effect on people

'Cause I'm doing the same thing to you

That's right even right now

Oh just wait up for me if you want to but

Look out, now

I'm just too fake for the world

Oh you know it's just a game to me

I'm just too fake you see

I hope you can forgive me

Oh now, I got too much soul for the world

And it's breaking my heart in two

I got too much soul for you

I don't like it but it's true

Look out, now

I'm just too fake for the world

And there's nothing I can do about

No, I'm just too fake for you

I don't like it but it's true

Look out

I got too much soul for the world

It's breaking my heart in two

I got too much soul for you

I don't like it, but it's true

Look out, I'm just too fake for the world

I know it's just a game to me

I'm just too fake you see

I hope you can forgive me

Look out now

I'm too fake
