"All is fair in love and poetry"

Plastic palm trees

I never thought I would listen to a song as much and relate to it as much,

I didn't think a lot of things

Well now I do

***********************

Plastic palm trees by Tate Mcrae hits hard

The lyrics goes with the tune

The tune goes with the song

The song goes with my life

***********************

This song is not about plastic palm trees

As you probably guessed

It's about life

It's about realising things

Realising feelings and moments weren't real

Realising not everything you did was worth it

Realising that not everything is perfect

Realising not everything was a dream you were caught in

Realising you are not fine

Realising you were just looking at and feeling something fake all along

***********************

I thought I had real friends

I thought that pretending I was something else was worth it

I thought I was living a perfect life

Then I realised my friends don't like me

I shouldn't have pretended to like the same things the did

I shouldn't have changed how I looked to be like them

I realised I shouldn't have done a lot of things to be friends with them because they don't even like me anyway

***********************

I wish I could go back

To how it used to be

Because now I'm staring at things that are all fake

And without listening to this song as many times as I did,

I wouldn't have actually thought about it

I wouldn't have realised how unhappy i actually am

I wouldn't have realised that my friends are actually all fake

I wouldn't have realised how much my friends hated me if I didn't think back

I owe it all to this song

Cause I'm realising that everything is fake
