Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashing but it don't even matter
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashing but it don't even matter
[Verse 3]
Saying that I love you just to get with you
Acting like I got my shit together
Acting like I miss you 'cause I'm lonely
It ain't you but this is just my ocean
[Verse 4]
Fake a smile to get me through the weekend
No one really knowing what I'm feeling
Smoke a bowl and I don't even like it
Keep 'em comfortable to stay invited
[Verse 5]
Touching myself till you touch me
Can't love myself till you love me
Ain't no one fuck with the real me
You feel me, whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 6]
I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashing but it don't even matter
[Verse 7]
Chill at home but try to hang the next night
Little people I still wanna invite
Telling all my friends I'm with the other
Shit don't make no sense, why do I bother?
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashing but it don't even matter
'Cause I'm a pretender
