“Fake Friends” is a raw reflection of the moments when trust is broken and true colors are revealed,” shares Josie. “It’s about recognizing the difference between real connections and the ones that fade when you need them most. I hope y’all love this song, and I hope it resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the sting of a friendship that wasn’t what it seemed.”
VERSE:
They only show up just to show you up
And you know what?
They can all get trucked
Cuz I’m done with the dumb stuff
Leave ‘em all in the dust
Nah I can’t trust
Friendly enemies
You’re history
CHORUS:
I ain’t giving two friendships to wastin’ my brain stem
On no losers that ain’t choosing me, been winnin’, since then
Since them ain’t been makin’ fake friends
