Pretenders (feat. Kasane Teto)
You're all wonderful performers
I don't mean any offense
But I can tell you've cut come corners
You've made them think they're your friends
Is it wrong to idolize
Not quite
But tell me what's the point of life with no spotlight
Is it alright
Sorry but the truth is overdue
You wished me well but didn't want me to come back soon
Guess it's time for my debut
Please don't buy me tickets to your show
'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go
And if you talked to me for even a second
Then maybe you would know
I'm not a fan of the cliché
Where everybody's fighting to be center stage
And you'll all never know where you're lacking
'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting
Paint me in your mental image
Pick out the colors you like
I don't need to be forgiven
I'll go down without a fight
I don't owe you any piece of mind
You don't get to villainize and justify
It's not showtime
I don't mind if I play the bad guy
So don't waste your efforts killing my vibe
You can try
But save the dramatics
I know your tactics
Please don't buy me tickets to your show
'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go
And if you talked to me for even a second
Then maybe you would know
I'm not a fan of the cliché
Where everybody's fighting to be center stage
And you'll all never know where you're lacking
'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting
Before you step onto the ballroom floor
Please check your ego at the door
Before you step onto the ballroom floor
Please check your ego at the door
Please don't buy me tickets to your show
'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go
And if you talked to me for even a second
Then maybe you would know
I'm not a fan of the cliché
Where everybody's fighting to be center stage
And you'll all never know where you're lacking
'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting
Please don't buy me tickets to your show
'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go
