Pretending
I saw the face in the window
Lighting up a cigarette
Smokey brown eye-shadow
I learnt it from a woman on the internet
Oh, how the hell have you been, babe?
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup, sip it up right to your head
All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
I'm done pretending, pretending, done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be?
I liked about liking your dress
I lied about sticking around
I lied about knowing the band that
You talked and talked all night about
So take it up with the jury
'Cause I don't really care anymore
And if you listen real close you might
Just hear the penny drop on the floor
All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
I'm done pretending, pretending, done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be?
Am I the only one pretending?
Pretending, one pretending?
Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending (I wanna go home)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending(I wanna go)
Pretending, one pretending, pretending?
Lighting up a cigarette
Smokey brown eye-shadow
I learnt it from a woman on the internet
Oh, how the hell have you been, babe?
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup, sip it up right to your head
All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
I'm done pretending, pretending, done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be?
I liked about liking your dress
I lied about sticking around
I lied about knowing the band that
You talked and talked all night about

Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be?

Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending (I wanna go home)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am i the only one pretending(I wanna go)
Pretending, one pretending, pretending?
