Pretending

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

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

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?

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

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

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?

(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?)
