Fake As Hell Lyrics
[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
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)
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
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

Genius Answer
Alex Gaskarth:
‘Fake As Hell’ is a song about recognizing what’s real and saying goodbye to what’s not — it’s about cutting ties with people and things that don’t lift you up and help you progress. It’s a wave goodbye to whatever’s in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realized, and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring.
