Title: Fake Energy
These days, I smile less, trust less, observe more
Heart on a lock, key on the floor
Not everyone who stays really loves you
Some just need a door… then they walk through
Verse 1
Used to wear my heart right on my sleeve
Thought your love was something I could believe
But you only called when your sky fell apart
Never asked how I was — just needed my cart
To carry your weight, then leave me in the dark
Chorus
Life taught me to protect my peace
Fake energy, I don’t need the lease
Real ones are rare, I see it now clear
You showed up for help, then disappeared
Now I smile less, trust less, watch from the side
Loving from distance — that’s where I reside
Verse 2
Remember the nights I broke my back for you?
Lent you my last, thought loyalty was true
But when the tables turned, you couldn’t stay
Ghost in my story — you faded away
Now I read the silence between what you say
Chorus
Life taught me to protect my peace
Fake energy, I don’t need the lease
Real ones are rare, I see it now clear
You showed up for help, then disappeared
Now I smile less, trust less, watch from the side
Loving from distance — that’s where I reside
Verse 3
I don’t hate you, I just know you now
Your love had a price tag under the vow
Every “I need you” was a transaction
Every hug was a quiet extraction
So I observe more — that’s my protection
Chorus – slightly more intense
Life taught me to protect my peace (oh)
Fake energy, I don’t need the lease (no)
Real ones are rare, I see it now clear
You showed up for help, then disappeared
Now I smile less, trust less, watch from the side
Loving from distance — that’s where I reside
Outro (slow fade, spoken-sung)
Have you ever been used by someone you trusted?
…Yeah, me too.
So now I smile less, trust less, observe more.
Not broken — just wiser.
Peace over people.
Real ones only.
