LYRICS: Tauren Wells – Fake It ft. Aaron Cole
I been chasing counterfeits
And tryin’ to find a fix
But all that I was missing was You
My hope was running out
Until you came around
And showed me there was nothing to prove (Crazy)
Some would say it’s unexplainable
But I know, yeah
I know what You can do
Oh
You’re changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Something I can put my faith in
Oh, ooh-ooh
You struck a match in the dark
You’re melting my plastic heart
This is real don’t have to fake it
Oh
You’re changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Something I can put my faith in
Oh, ooh-ooh
You struck a match in the dark
You’re melting my plastic heart
This is real don’t have to fake it
It all quit makin’ sense
Keepin’ up appearances
‘Cause there ain’t no impressing You
You said don’t act like it’s all good, life ain’t Hollywood, no
No, no, no, no
Oh
You’re changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Something I can put my faith in
Oh, ooh-ooh
You struck a match in the dark
You’re melting my plastic heart
This is real don’t have to fake it
Oh
You’re changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Something I can put my faith in
Oh, ooh-ooh
You struck a match in the dark
You’re melting my plastic heart
This is real don’t have to fake it
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, aye

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, aye
Aye, You keep the faith in my heart
Never knew a love like this in my life, yeah
It was You all along
I know I belong
I’m right where I’m loved
Watch for faces, real loving, it took time
Been chillin’ down in Florida, having good times
Running your race, can’t get off track
Don’t gotta front when you got my back, let’s go
Oh
You’re changing my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Something I can put my faith in
Oh, ooh-ooh
You struck a match in the dark
You’re melting my plastic heart
This is real don’t have to fake it
Don’t have to fake it, no
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, aye
(Don’t have to fake it, no no)
