What lies

Behind

Your pretty house with the white picket fence?

And all the barbies that you call your friends?

Is your life

A lie?

Nothing's as good as it seems

And you're not the girl of their dreams

Oh, maybe your life is all flowers

Maybe I'm insecure

Maybe you're good at taking pictures

Maybe you're a pretender

Oh, Pretender

I'm pointing my finger at you

Pretender

If only they knew what I knew

Yeah, if only they knew what I knew (mmm)

I'm happy

In me

Ain't that supposed to be enough?

So why am I sulking, calling your bluff?

Maybe your life is all flowers

Maybe I'm insecure

Maybe you're good at taking pictures

You're a pretender

Pretender

I'm pointing my finger at you

Pretender

If only they knew what I knew

Yeah, if only they knew what I knew (mmm)

Pretender

I guess you're really not so bad

Maybe you pretend

But you look like you got the life I wish I had

I created to be plastic and deadly

I created you to hide my own envy

To hide my own envy

Pretender

I wish I knew what you knew

Pretender

If only I was like you

Maybe, I'm pretender like you
