[Intro]

(I know what you ain't telling)

(I know what's on your mind)

(I hope that they can't tell it)

(Oh God, you know I tried)

[Verse 1]

Yeah, one's a fluke, boy, don't fuck your prospects

Swear to God, the only one that thought

Man, that shit wasn't supposed to be no option

Second-guessed everything I got

Bad time, the cat got my tongue, I guess

'Cause I know, if I talk, it's a lie

Just another way to waste my time

Fake it until the real one dies

[Pre-Chorus]

You're so clever, think you fooled them, perfect disguise

(The pеrfect disguise, ooh)

Hold it togethеr, you can't lose it in front of their eyes

(Their eyes, ooh)

[Chorus]

I know what you ain't telling, I know what's on your mind

I hope that they can't tell it, oh God, you know I tried

I know what you ain't telling, I know what's on your mind

I couldn't keep it perfect, oh God, you know I tried

[Verse 2]

I can't take it, up the PSI, I can't even look you in the eye

Turned it to an oven, Hansel, Gretel, swear they tried to burn me out alive

Last time, well, that was last time, this time doing it right

Shit's not real, it lasts five, one step, and took back nine

Yeah, I'd take it all back if I could, but you know I can't

Tryna keep it positive, honestly, bro, I can't

Is it coincidental? Accidental? Flash up in the pan?

Mother fuck y'all, I could've never switch up on the band

That's strange to me

Been enough time, why it feel strange to me?

It's really few times that I would rather stay than leave

He told me he could do it better, I would pay to see (Huh, yeah)

[Bridge]

Don't let your guard down, that come back to haunt ya

I think it's awful, perfect, the imposter

Don't let your guard down, that come back to haunt ya

If it's so awful, then why it feel so proper?

[Pre-Chorus]

You're so clever, think you fooled them, perfect disguise

(The perfect disguise, ooh)

Hold it together, you can't lose it in front of their eyes

(Their eyes, ooh)

[Chorus]

I know what you ain't telling, I know what's on your mind

I hope that they can't tell it, oh God, you know I tried

I know what you ain't telling, I know what's on your mind

I couldn't keep it perfect, oh God, you know I tried
