Lyrics
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.
They all caved in,
I kept my own plan,
to rise above the rest and start my own crowd,
these are my friends,
and what we stand for,
is strength to break and fight our own wars.
I want you to feel,
to feel and see,
the affliction you embedded in me,
not for one second,
do I truly believe,
that you were ever loyal to me you just aim to deceive,
you just aim to deceive.
They all caved in,
I kept my own plan,
to rise above the rest and start my own crowd,
these are my friends,
and what we stand for,
is strength to break and fight our own wars.
You say the things you say to make yourself feel better,
because you're weak and aren't half the person that you used to be.
Now your problems are chasing me,
away from where I've wanted to be,
for the rest of my life,
now I have to leave,
now I have to leave.
I had close to nothing,
there was nothing good here for me,
I have nothing left to say,
It's just another day.
It's just another day.
They all caved in,
I kept my own plan,
to rise above the rest and start my own crowd,
these are my friends,
and what we stand for,
is strength to break and fight our own wars.
You say the things you say to make yourself feel better,
because you're weak and aren't half the person you used to be.
