Lyrics
I can't believe she bought it

She got too close and she caught it

Had a point but she forgot it

When you skip steps on the way up

The gaps have a way of catching up

And you can't cover that with make-up



You're gonna fall behind me

You're gonna cry and beg for mercy

'Cause you're not ready baby

And you got nothing on me



Now that I'm getting to know her

Part of me wants to show her

Who she's really screwing over

Cause she's got nothing real

Taking everything she can steal

Just like it was her last meal



You're gonna fall behind me

You're gonna cry and beg for mercy

'Cause you're not ready baby

And you got nothing on me



How long is she gonna be around

And how long do we have to watch her dumb it down

'Cause when it's cheap it fades fast

And how long does she think it's gonna last?



You're gonna fall behind me

You're gonna cry and beg for mercy

'Cause you're not ready baby

And you got nothing on me



You're gonna fall behind me

You're gonna cry and beg for mercy

'Cause you're not ready baby

And you got nothing on me

And you got nothng on me

And you got nothing on me

And you got nothing on me

This vid is so fun!! I wasn't expecting someone to make a Lauren vid for some reason but I'm so glad it exists now. Very clever lyrical interpretation!

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! Lauren is one of my favorite characters, though I wouldn't have thought so when the show started. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid! <3

[talumin]

This was so great! Lauren and her epic eyerolls FTW.

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! They really are epic. XD

[credoimprobus]

Laureeeeen! Tiny queen b of my heart! This is so awesome. :D

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! Lauren's da bomb. ;-)

[chaila]

I don't know this source at all, but I love this! So much character is conveyed in the song choice + your editing of expressions. And it was really fun to watch!

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! I love that you tried it without knowing the show, and even more that you enjoyed it! <3

[violetemerald]

Aw wow! I love this gift SO MUCH! Thank you, thank you. You did an epic job. Lauren/Amy is pretty popular in fanfiction form, I noticed, but I've *never* seen a vid with this much Lauren in it before and I loved every second of it. Perfect editing choices, really fun song choice and great lyric matching too. ;) Everything about this was just perfect. Thanks for making me something so undervidded. Also the vimeo video quality is GORGEOUS, and I love that you used the logo-free eps and everything. ;) It's very pretty to watch and I appreciate that too.

I actually am really excited to see where both Lauren and Amy's characters go in the second half of season 2, and I hope their step-sister relationship progresses as well, at some point. If done right, it'll be hilarious and rewarding to watch, every step of the way.

[blithesea_dw]

I'm so relieved you like it! <3 Your festivids letter left me every freedom, and Lauren is the character whose journey on the show most surprised me. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Lauren and Amy as well, and hope to see lots more of it in the future episodes.

[violetemerald]

I've rewatched the vid a few times now and I have now noticed just how much effort you put into all of the specific lyric matching, so I really want to make sure you know I saw that and appreciate that too. Thank you so much for making this for me. I made the only other Faking It vid this Festivids year, and honestly I felt a bit intimidated once anon reveals went up because this was perfection, and felt so much better than mine haha. I love everything about this. It brings an instant smile to my face within the first few seconds of hitting "play", each and every time.

[blithesea_dw]

<3 <3 <3 You sweetie.

[ghost_lingering]

This is excellent!

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! <3

I really enjoyed this vid! I don't know the source but you conveyed a lot and it was a lot of fun to watch. I loved the eyeroll montage.

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And the eyeroll montage was great fun to put together. :-D

[ghanimasun]

I never thought I'd like Lauren so much when I started watching the show. This video is an awesome tribute to her and perfect song choice, love it!

[blithesea_dw]

I felt exactly the same about her! I'm really glad the direction they've chosen for her, when she seemed to be such a clichée antagonist at first. Thank you for your comment! <3

[franzeska]

Ahahaha! This character looks hilarious.

[blithesea_dw]

She is! :-D You should check out that show... ;-)

[anoel]

I am SO GLAD you made this vid! It's so great to see a vid from Lauren's pov and I love how you show her relationship with Amy - the lyrics work so well with it. I love how you show off Lauren's great eyerolls, expressions and movements while also showing her vulnerable side whether she's antagonizing Amy or bonding with her. Awesome vid, I love it!

[blithesea_dw]

Thank you! <3 I really enjoy Lauren on the show, and the first season's Amy-Lauren relationship, especially since it made me root for Lauren more and more... :-D
