Shinedown - Fake (Demo) lyrics

[Verse 1] This place has begun to cover me I recall the light, but the dark smothers me I prefer the feelings I know right now I don't worry about feeling very proud [Pre-Chorus] You don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would You don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would [Chorus] But I'm bleeding and my hands are bruised From the grip that I once had on you And I'm open for a new way 'Cause there's not much more that that I can fake [Verse 2] It's almost seeing your soul for the first time And watching the mirror show your life in rewind Captured the ridicule of everyone I'm tired of trying and they wonder why I'm gone [Pre-Chorus] You don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would You don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would [Chorus] But I'm bleeding and my hands are bruised From the grip that I once had on you And I'm open for a new way 'Cause there's not much more that that I can fake [Bridge] Never ending, I'm just beginning With you Never ending, I'm just pretending We are too And now it's easy to let go Of how I feel And now it's better Since the emotion is real [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would You don't know how it feels to be misunderstood To reach for the sky, I thought you never would [Chorus] But I'm bleeding and my hands are bruised From the grip that I once had on you And I'm open for a new way 'Cause there's not much more that that I can fake [Chorus] But I'm bleeding and my hands are bruised From the grip that I once had on you And I'm open for a new way 'Cause there's not much more that that I can fake [Outro] But I am bleeding for you And I am down on my knees And I am filled up with you But I am bleeding for you
