I live with the life that I made I get from the things that I gave My arms are outstreached I hope for the best And act rich before I get paid I sold of my soul for these jeans Wherever I go its a scene Everyones staring as I act not caring Attention is breathing to me Oh I am the Pretender My confidence pours in this gla** It helps me to hide from my past Life of the party I know everybody But noone gets beyond this mask Oh I am the Pretender Oh another Pretty Pretender Yeah I tell her whatever it takes My truth is as shifting as shapes I kiss and hug her and tell her I love her Then laugh as I tend her heartbreak Oh I am the Pretender Oh I'm just a Pretender Oh I am the Pretender Oh I am the Pretender
