Lyrics
The Pretender
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I live with the life that I made
I get from the things that I gain (might be gave also)
My arms are outstretched I hope for the best
I act rich before I get paid
I sold off my soul for these jeans
wherever I go it's a scene
everyone's staring as I act not caring
attention is breathing to me
oh I am The Pretender.
My confidence pours in this glass
It helps me to hide from my past
life of the party I know everybody
but no one gets behind this mask
oh I'm The Pretender.
oh another pretty pretender
yeah
I tell her whatever it takes
My truth is as shifting as shapes
I kiss her and hug and tell her I love her
then laugh as her tender hearts breaks
oh I am The Pretender
oh I'm just a pretender
oh I am The Pretender
oh I am The Pretender
