When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always
Wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just âcause
I know I can
But I canât pretend this is the way
It will stay
Iâm just trying to bend the truth
I canât pretend Iâm who you want me to be
So Iâm
Lying my way from you
(No, no turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
(No, no turning back now)
Let me take my life
Iâd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
âCause I can see
(No, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk
Of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that
And this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person
Really is me and Iâm
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push
The more Iâm pulling away
âCause Iâm
Lying my way from you
This isnât what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
