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
Lying my way from you
No turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
Anywhere on my own
Because I can see
The very worst part of you
Is me
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk
Of who I 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'm
Trying to bend the truth
But the more I push
The more I'm pulling away
Because I'm
Lying my way from you
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from you
Like this
The very worst part of you
Is me
