Pretending

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw the face in the window Lighting up a cigarette Smokey brown eyeshadow I learnt it from a woman on the internet Oh, how the hell have you been, babe? Put your coat on the bed Let me get you a cup Sip it up, up right to your head [Pre-Chorus] All the people over there They don't seem to have a care I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting And no matter how I try, I repeat it every night, every night, evеry night, every night [Chorus] I'm done prеtending, pretending Done pretending All of my heroes are way more sad than me Am I the only one pretending, pretending One pretending? Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be? [Verse 2] I lied about liking your dress I lied about sticking around I lied about knowing the band that you talked and talked all night about So take it up with the jury 'Cause I don't really care anymore And if you listen real close you might just hear the penny drop on the floor [Pre-Chorus] All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting And no matter how I try, I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night [Chorus] I'm done pretending, pretending Done pretending All of my heroes are way more sad than me Am I the only one pretending, pretending One pretending? Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be? [Outro] (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?) Leave me alone (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?) I wanna go home (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?) Leave me alone (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?) I wanna go— (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending, pretending?)
