False Pretense
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.
(It's time to let it go)
The world's got a funny way of turning round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I tought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Ca-ca-ca-cause you know
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll learn again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll learn again
All alone you know you though you've got the best of me
You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Ca-ca-ca-cause you know
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll learn again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll learn again
(It's time to let it go)
I can't seem to understand it how
You turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red-handed
Are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke
In sacrifice
False pretense, you'll learn again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense, you'll learn again
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand
