Pretender Lyrics


I will take the highway

You take the low

But don’t get caught in your own traps

Because I won’t help you through

And don’t you tell me

That what you did was right

Sell your bullshit somewhere else

‘Cause I’m not gonna buy

Oh, think you’re special

That you’re a saint

Let me tell you something ‘friend’

Your words ain’t worth your breath

So go and live your fantasy

Entwined in jealousy

Feeding all your demons

Because I can’t help you see

You don’t care. You’re nothing but a fake

Justify swimming in your lies

Choke out the truth for your own sake

And now it’s too late, you’re nothing but a

Pretender - You’re wearing a mask

Pretender – Speaking no truth

Pretender – You’re leading us on

Pretender - Just go away

Dwell inside your anger

Turning up the heat

You never think just what it means

When you turn it against me

Sink your teeth and sink them quick

So I can turn my back

I’m sick of all your games

So just get up off my back

You cheated everyone

That you called a friend

Telling lies you hide behind

To get by in your life

When you think about it

Think back to what you are

Remember what you used to be

And what you threw away

Everything that I held inside

You took away. I can’t bare the weight

You’ve destroyed what you held dear

Now you’re alone. You’ll always be a

Pretender - You’re feeding your hate

Pretender - You live with the pain

Pretender - You’re nothing to me

Pretender - So just go away

Fire breathing, spitting hate

Spitting right at me

Vicious circles, I spit back

No more can you hurt me

Tell yourself a white lie

I just might be alright

Then stab your friends right in the back

This anger will not die

We go around again

I’m taking it no more

Not going down this road again

I’ll not share your demise

When I think back to the times

We shared in the past

Good riddance to the anguish

Thank god it didn’t last

You took a stab straight to the heart

You took a stab and it tore us apart

You don’t get it; you’ll never see

Just what you did to me. You’re nothing but a

Pretender - You’ll do it again

Pretender – Seething with hate

Pretender – You’ll never change

Pretender - So just go away
