When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always
Wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just ‘cause
I know I can
But I can’t pretend this is the way
It will stay
I’m just trying to bend the truth
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be
So I’m

Lying my way from you
(No, no turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
(No, no turning back now)
Let me take my life
I’d rather be all alone
(N turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
‘Cause I can see
(No, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
Is me

I remember what they taught me
Remember condescending talk
Of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that
And this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person
Really is me and I’m
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push
The more I’m pulling away
‘Cause I’m

Lying my way from you

This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running form me
Like this

The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
