I live with the life that I made
I get from the things that I gain (might be gave also)
My arms are outstretched I hope for the best
And act rich before I get paid

I sold off my soul for these jeans (genes??)
Wherever I go it's a scene
Everyone's staring as I act not caring
Attention is breathing to me

Oh I am The Pretender.

My confidence pours in this glass
It helps me to hide from my past
Life of the party I know everybody
But no one gets beyond? this mask

Oh I'm The Pretender.
Oh another pretty pretender
Yeah

I tell her whatever it takes
My [bad word] is as shifting as shapes
I kiss her and hug and tell her I love her
Then laugh as i tend her heartbreak?

Oh I am The Pretender
Oh I'm just a pretender

Oh I am The Pretender
Oh I am The Pretender
