Pretender

[Verse 1]
Denim and salty hair
Walked in the room like you just don't care
You came outta nowhere
God, it was unfair

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
And now I know what it's like in Hell
It's seeing you out with someone else
Knowin' you're happy
Knowin' you have me

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh (I'll never be, I'll never be—)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
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
Honestly

[Chorus]
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
