Master Pretender

[Verse 1: Klara Söderberg]
Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet
I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
But honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
‘Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again

[Chorus: Both]
Oh, I'm a master pretender

[Verse 2: Johanna Söderberg, (Both)]
I always knew that I was young
But with (a head held high and a sharp tongue)
(I could fool most anyone)
I never expected to be struck
By the (fatal hands of fortune)
(Or by sheer bad luck)

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Honey, now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again

[Chorus: Both]
Oh, I'm a master pretender

[Bridge: Both]
All the streets of New York City
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home
Just felt more alone
The further I'd go

[Refrain: Klara Söderberg]
I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, I'll be goddamned
But I'll stick around

[Chorus - Variation: Both]
I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

[Outro]
Yeah!
