[Verse 1]
You been confusing since the day I met you
Another night chasing, this feels like home
Since I've been miles away, no change
Outsider inside looking dazed
Just wash the glitter off your face and go home
Winter sun throwing shadows long and lonesome
How strange to think that we were strangers once
At square one
I guess it's on me, I want more than I've got
But I can't ask you for the things you don't feel
Don't—

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't want no fake love, fake love, fake love
I don't wanna know no fake friends, forced smiles, or favors
And I don't wanna know no fake love, fake love, fake love
Just say what you wanna say, yeah

[Chorus]
And I'll still be there
It's easy when you've nothing to lose
And I'll still be there
'Cause I've got nowhere else, yeah

[Verse 2]
Yeah, she told me love me fast but take it slow
I said I'm going nowhere fast as hell
And keeping with the times we gotta keep it on the low
Midnight habits burning through the summer since the snow, and
I finally feel myself again
It's been so long, I thought I'd seen the end
But I guess you need ends to begin again
And again, and again
'Cause this is nothing we ain't seen before
I lived through it, I ain't overdosed
The sky is falling like it always does
So I guess we'll see if someone's watching over us
So let it rain
The clouds look heavy, but they bear no weight
The scars can't hurt you and the bruises will fade, yes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't want no fake love, fake love, fake love
I don't wanna know no fake friends, forced smiles, or favors
And I don't wanna know no fake love, fake love, fake love
Just say what you wanna say

[Chorus]
And I'll still be there
It's easy when you've nothing to lose
And I'll still be there
'Cause I've got nowhere else

[Outro]
And I don't want no fake love, fake love, fake love
I don't wanna know no fake friends, forced smiles, or favors
And I don't wanna know no fake love, fake love, fake love
Just say what you wanna say, yeah

EDEN

Jonathon Ng (born 23 December 1995), better known by his stage name EDEN, is an Irish electronic music producer turned singer-songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. He formerly operated as The Spab Project, and would upload random songs and projects onto SoundCloud. After he had outgrown that phase, he changed his name to The Eden Project, an alias that was discontinued in 2015. Ng’s work as The Eden Project typically featured more conventional styles of electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass, while EDEN saw him venturing into a more indie pop style. He made this alias change in April 2015, after the release of Final Call.

In an interview for Billboard, EDEN gives a little information about himself. He didn’t enjoy his school’s music subjects, yet started writing music at the early age of 7 or 8, and even performed in a band with some of his friends at the age of 13 or 14.

EDEN’s main inspirations are varied. He enjoyed Rihanna while at school, whereas his current musical inspiration ranges from Kendrick Lamar to even Hans Zimmer.
