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 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it will stay
I'm just
(Trying to bend the truth)
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm
(I'm lying myway from)
(You)
[Nah, no turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
[Nah, no turning back now
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
[No turning back now
Anywhere on my own
'Cause I can 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
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I
(Trying to bend the truth )
The more I push I'm pulling away cause I'm
(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
I'd rather be all alone
[No turning back now
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
[Nah, no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you)
(IS ME)
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
Would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought what I said
Would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
Would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
Would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
(You)
[No turning back now
(I wanna be closed inside so let me go)
[Nah, no turning back now
(Let me take back my life)
(I'd rather be all alone)
[No turning back now
(And anywhere on my own, cause I can see)
[Nah, no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you）
(Is me)
