when i pretend,
everything is what i want it be,
i looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
when i pretend,
i cant forget about the criminal i am
stealing second after second
just cause i know i can, but
i cant pretend
this is they way it will stay, im just
(lying to defend the truth)
i cant pretend im who you want me to be so
(im lying my way from)
you
(nah, no turning back now)
i wanna be closed inside so let me go
(nah, no turning back now)
let me take back my life
id rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
and anywhere on my own, cause i cant see
(nah, no turning back now)
the very worst part of you
is me

i remember what they taught to me,
remember condescending talk of who it ought to be
remember listening to all of that and this again

and now you think this person really is me and i
(trying to defend the truth )
yo, the more i push im pulling away cause im
(lying my way from)

(nah, no turning back now)
i wanna be closed inside so let me go
(nah, no turning back now)
let me take back my life
id rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
and anywhere on my own, cause i cant see
(nah, no turning back now)
