[Verse 1]

We're all trying

To tell who's lying

And choose just what to believe

We're second nature

To placate ya

I wear my emotions on a sleeve

I always try my best to put the rest to second guessers and I'm

Well aware that misery loves company

Instead I'm trying to run around on things that we can't settle on

Why don't we stop and see the person standing there?

And

[Pre-Chorus]

Just because it feels good

Doesn't make it real to me

[Chorus]

Authenticity

Is what I need

'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me

I can't believe

Just anything

When you make it up so easily

[Verse 2]

Why you lying?

So much denying

What I see on TV, and what I read, and even what they're writing

We come to believe these lies so comfortably

We tend to propagate opinions so recklessly

And it's a fine line

That separates the screen from reality

A meme is just a meme

And I feel like we should know this, but I don't believe we do

We've got to keep on trekking

Keep our eyes on what we know is true

[Pre-Chorus]

Just because it feels good

Doesn't make it real to me

[Chorus]

Authenticity

Is what I need

'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me

I can't believe

Just anything

When you make it up so easily

Authenticity

Is my plea

'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me

Your honesty

Is what I breathe

So tell me you'll be good to me

[Bridge]

When it feels surreal (so real)

It makes me wanna believe (do you believe?)

What I really need is authenticity

[Chorus]

Authenticity

Is my plea

'Cause everyone's a liar when they talk to me

Your honesty

Is what I breathe

So tell me you'll be good to me

[Outro]

Just because it feels good

Doesn't make it real to me (tell me you'll be good to me)

Doesn't make it real to me (tell me you'll be good to me)
