Perhaps you mean "The address was fake and never existed; if only he hadn't either." While some might quibble over the use of the semicolon with a subordinate clause after it, I think stylistically a fine choice. It's not so much that the original sentence was grammatically incorrect, just kind of ambiguous.
PS Make SENSE, not SINCE

Here's how I would write it:
The address was fake, and never existed; if only he, himself, didn't exist.
I think you need the first comma after fake because you're talking about 2 things, and you're using "AND".
I'm pretty sure you need 2 commas around "himself" because you're using another describer that doesn't have to be there (like, you could take "himself" out, and still be able to read the sentence.
"wasn't" doesn't fit, because you can't say "he himself wasn't existed" or "wasn't exist". I'm not even sure you can say "didn't" because then you're saying "he didn't existed". It might have to be changed to "; if only he himself, didn't exist."
I think the semicolon is ok, there. But, maybe you would want to open it, and say "The address was fake, and never existed." "'I wish I never existed', he thought, to himself."

First of all, your question didn't make sense and contained grammar mistakes ("since"should be "sense", "are" should be "is" because of subject and verb agreement, "they're" should be "there", and "grammer" is actually spelled "grammar".
And for the sentence you presented, it makes very little sense. The first phrase seems to be alright because something can be fake and yet have never existed. But for the second phrase-that's completely over my head.

NO!
And the question should have been written this way: Does this sentence make sense? Are there any grammar mistakes?

The first part is redundant. Also "he himself" is redundant. "If only he himself wasn't" doesn't pair up with "never existed" very well.

I'm no grammar expert, but it ends saying if only he wasn't. I think it isn't clear what he wasn't.

Second part sounds clumsy ...and its are there?? not they're...an apostrophe shows two words joined...eg..they're = they are
