Stop Pretending

[Verse 1]
There was a time when I was younger
When I was happy and sincere
But for a reason I started running
And I guess I haven't stopped
I couldn't leave myself bleedin'
Couldn't let my faith in me just die
So I guess I was creatin'
These walls made to disguise
And you should know that it's so easy
To believe in your own lies

[Chorus]
Stop pretending like I'm doin'
It's never enough I know just who I'm foolin'
Stop it's a game that I can't win 'cause
In all this time I've never made it through

[Verse 2]
Well I got friends and I'm not lonely
So I don't need their love around
And I don't want you to feel petty
No that's not what I've got in mind
But they made me feel outside the picture
Now I know I never was

[Chorus]
Stop pretending like I'm doin'
It's never enough I know just who I'm foolin'
Stop it's a game that I can't win 'cause
In all this time I've never made it through

[Bridge]
There's just so many ways life can tear us apart
I got to mend my own heart

[Chorus]
Stop pretending like I'm doin'
It's never enough I know just who I'm foolin'
Stop it's a game that I can't win 'cause
In all this time I've never made it through
Stop pretending like I'm doin'
It's never enough I know just who I'm foolin'
Stop it's a game that I can't win 'cause
In all this time I've never made it through

[Outro]
Yeah, oh oh yeah
Yeah, oh oh yeah
Got to stop pretending
Can't keep living life this way
Hey
