[Intro: Alex Gaskarth]

I know it's better if we both say

"So long and thanks for the memories"

I'd like to say that it's been real

But it's been fake as hell

[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]

I caught you lyin' in my face again

You got me hangin' by a thread again

Feel like a kite in a hurricane

So cut the string and let me fly away

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]

Now we're burnin' at both ends

Like candles in the wind

My eyelids collapsin'

Collateral damage

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]

I know it's better if we both say

"So long and thanks for the memories"

I'd like to say that it's been real

But it's been fake as hell

Take two and call me in the mornin'

Three chances, should've seen the warnin'

For what it's worth, I wish you well

Yeah, it's been real, you're fake as hell

[Verse 2: Avril Lavigne]

You're superficial, you know how to fake it

So artificial, don't know how to take it

You got a problem, I don't wanna solve it

Now it's official, I don't even miss ya

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth & Avril Lavigne]

You say it's really nothin' personal

And everyone you love is just expendable

Can't make a friend without the end, you know

It's collateral damage

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth & Avril Lavigne]

I know it's better if we both say

"So long and thanks for the memories"

I'd like to say that it's been real

But it's been fake as hell

Take two and call me in the mornin'

Three chances, should've seen the warnin'

For what it's worth, I wish you well

Yeah, it's been real, you're fake as hell

[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth, Avril Lavigne, Alex Gaskarth & Avril Lavigne]

You say it's really nothin' personal

Everyone you love is just expendable

You say it's really nothin' personal (Can't make a friend without the end, you know)

Personal, personal (End, you know)

You say it's really nothing personal (I know it's better if we both say)

Everyone you love is just expendable ("So long and thanks for the memories")

Can't make a friend without the end, you know (I'd like to say that it's been real)

End, you know (But it's been fake as hell)

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth & Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne]

I know it's better if we both say

"So long and thanks for the memories" (Thanks for the memories)

I'd like to say that it's been real

But it's been fake as hell

Take two and call me in the mornin'

Three chances, should've seen the warnin'

For what it's worth, I wish you well

Yeah, it's been real, you're fake as hell

[Outro: Avril Lavigne, Alex Gaskarth]

Fake as hell

You're so fake as hell (For what it's worth, I wish you well)

Yeah, it's been real, you're fake as hell
