I Don't Pretend
Transparent I cling
To things that are not real
I tried to be an optimist
But I forgot to think that way
Take me somewhere
Somewhere where I do not detest
The things that I say in my head
It always makes me mad
Can't walk away from it
I raise my voice but can't
Say what I want you to know
I take it back, the things I've said
Every time I close my eyes
Mother tell me why I'm like this
And why I can't be myself or act
The way that I pretend I am
Take me somewhere
Somewhere where I do not pretend
To be a trace of someone else's hands
I take it back, the things I've said
It always makes me mad
Can't walk away from it
I raise my voice but can't
Say what I want you to know
I take it back, the things I've said
To things that are not real
I tried to be an optimist
But I forgot to think that way
Take me somewhere
Somewhere where I do not detest
The things that I say in my head
It always makes me mad
Can't walk away from it
I raise my voice but can't
Say what I want you to know
I take it back, the things I've said
Every time I close my eyes
Mother tell me why I'm like this
And why I can't be myself or act
The way that I pretend I am
Take me somewhere
Somewhere where I do not pretend
To be a trace of someone else's hands
I take it back, the things I've said
It always makes me mad
Can't walk away from it
I raise my voice but can't
Say what I want you to know
I take it back, the things I've said
