Pretender

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 runaway 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

I know what it’s like in hell
It’s seeing you out with someone else
Knowing you’re happy
Knowing you had me
Oh
Wrapped around your finger like a wedding ring
I never got to give you
But it's fine
You only live forever in my mind

I wish that we could runaway 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, oh, oh, oh
I’ll never be
I’ll never be
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I wish that we could runaway 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
Honestly

I wish that we could runaway 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
