The Pretender

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I will be your shoulder to cry on I will make you laugh if you need I will play the part if you say so Yeah, I'll be anybody but me [Pre-Chorus] To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool You don't know that And you never will In my mind, it's instilled not to show that [Chorus] I spend almost all of my time Feeling like I'm falling even further behind And I know I'm so good at seeming Like I'm not on the edge of a knife I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya? Designed to deceive So, tell me who you want me to be [Verse 2] I can wear a million faces 'Cause I don't like the one underneath Always found it easy to fake it Yeah, I'll be anybody but me [Pre-Chorus] To tell you the truth, I'm the fraud in the room And I know that But you never will In my mind, it's instilled not to show that [Chorus] I spend almost all of my time Feeling like I'm falling even further behind And I know I'm so good at seeming Like I'm not on the edge of a knife I feel like everything I do is a lie And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya? Designed to deceive So, tell me who you want me to be [Bridge] And I'll be Be my best impression of what you expect from me But what you don't see is [Chorus] I spend almost all of my time Feeling like I'm falling even further behind I know I'm so good at seeming Like I'm not on the edge of a knife I feel like everything I do is a lie And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya? And I'm an imposter, but Hell is a mender I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya? Designed to deceive So, tell me who you want me to be
