Cng - Pretend lyrics

(K) I want attention and fame But when you break a gla** the reflection will change You can try and fix it but it's never the same Cos when you look at it you play the memory game Something that once was is now no longer And letting go's the only way to grow stronger And up until today I never asked why I'm trying to capture a moment that's already pa**ed by It's like a worm that lodges in between your ears Ambition, it's found somewhere between your fears The balancing act, maybe it's too great And maybe I'm too late or maybe I'm too jaded If I knew, I wouldn't be writing this song Sometimes I feel like a pa**enger riding along But this ain't uber x I've seen it done now it's something I need to prove myself Take the bull by the horns I'm in the driver's seat Take all of your cliches and apply to me If at first you don't succeed then try and repeat And if not still, then in time you'll heal I've been around the block for a minute trying to pop Done with playing the game either you with it or you not Sick of trying to beat the buzzer and missing all the shots Only thing keeping me from quitting is quitting at the top These wounds are raw I'm trying to rise above my god given human flaws I guess that's what I'm human for Take the mask off and stop pretending that I'm anything more (Chorus) I don't wanna waste no time at all We already been through the rise and fall I'm wondering how we keep on hanging on I did it from the start, right until the end Sick of playing a part, tired of playing pretend (J) I lay yesterday in an open casket I glance back as my soul departs it I see a picture frame with a photograph of a broken heart Hand fades as I go to grasp it Float past and I listen to the eulogy A blank face but the voice isn't new to me Here lies a man stuck between real life and fantasy So let me hear by demand that he be Known as the ray of light infected by darkness In attendance are dreams he left behind fatherless He had the whole package but he never could deliver Yeah he had the ammunition but he never pulled the trigger All he wanted was the opportunity but stopped pursuing Another lost soul gone too soon So if you up there listening I hope you in a better place I hope you find what you lookin for now let us pray I let the words disappear Let go of the hurt and the fear And as i see the bright light in the sky I am born again Just in time to bring the chorus in (Chorus) I don't wanna waste no time at all We already been through the rise and fall I'm wondering how we keep on hanging on I did it from the start, right until the end Sick of playing a part, tired of playing pretend
