Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw the face in the window
Lighting up a cigarette
Smokey brown eyeshadow
I learnt it from a woman on the internet
[Verse 2]
Oh how the hell have you been babe?
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup
Sip it up up, right to your head
[Verse 3]
All the people over there
They don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self aware it's exhausting
[Verse 4]
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
[Verse 5]
I'm done pretending, pretending
Done pretending
[Verse 6]
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
[Verse 7]
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
One pretending?
Oh who are you so afraid to be? To be? To be? To be? To be?
[Verse 8]
I lied about liking your dress
I lied about sticking around
I lied about knowing the band that you talked and talked all night about
[Verse 9]
So take it up with the jury
'Cause I don't really care anymore
And if you listen real close you might just hear the penny drop on the floor
[Verse 10]
All the people over there
They don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self aware it's exhausting
[Verse 11]
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
[Verse 12]
I'm done pretending, pretending
Done pretending
[Verse 13]
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
[Verse 14]
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
One pretending?
Oh who are you so afraid to be? To be? To be? To be? To be?
[Verse 15]
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
[Verse 16]
Leave me alone (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
I wanna go home (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
Leave me alone (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
I wanna go home (Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending, pretending?)
