Diane Warren
Counterfeit
[Verse 1]
Truth shattered, tears tasted, love given, love wasted
I put my trust in something that turned out to be nothing
Heart I thought was gold, it was only made of stone
I believed everything, all the empty words you said
All the bankrupt promises, that was all tou left me with

[Chorus:]
I thought your love was money in the bank, yeah
That's what I used to think, yeah
But it was nothing but a lie
I stupidly believed it, I thought it was the real shit

[Hook:]
But it was counterfeit
Counterfeit, counterfeit, nothing real, yeah
It was counterfeit, counterfeit, a bad exchange

[Verse 2]
Deception, delusion, burned by an illusion
I lost my pride in your kiss
And you were never worth it
It was supposed to be making love. not make believe
Yeah you sure fooled me, all the empty words you said
All the bullshit promises, I wish we had never met
[Chorus]
But it was counterfeit
Counterfeit, counterfeit, nothing real, yeah
It was counterfeit, was a bad dream

Was a bad situation
I wanted love
Got a bad invitation

[Chorus]

[Hook x2]
