Pretender Songtext
von Thomas Day

Denim and salty hair
Walked in the room like you just don′t care
You came out of nowhere
God, it was unfair
Gone in a flash like a blinking eye
I think of the past, and I don't know why
Baby, you′re nowhere
But I still try to go there

I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I′ll have to fake a smile forever
But honestly, I′ll never be a great pretender


And now I know what it's like in hell
And seeing you out with someone else
Knowing you′re happy
Knowing you have me
Oh, wrapped around your finger
Like a wedding ring I never got to give you
But it's fine
You′ll only live forever in my mind

I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I′m scared I'll have to fake a smile forever
But honestly, I'll never be a great pretender

Oh
Oh (I′ll never be, I′ll never be-)
Oh
Oh

I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I′m scared I'll have to fake this smile forever
But honestly, honestly

I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I′m running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I′ll have to fake a smile forever
But honestly, I'll never be a great pretender
