mr. Pretentious

I used to think you were smart

so much more than I could ever grasp

I used to think you were so out of reach

and I could never in a lifetime

even dream to be enough

I used to think you were a mystery to solve

I used to think I'd give you everything I've got

if you only let me in

and then you finally let me in, for just a moment

oh, I caught me in the wrong

you made my world crumble to pieces

realized you were never what I needed

never thought you'd be so wicked

more than I'd believe if someone ever told me so

so self absorbed

act like you're so far above

and you might believe it

but I have seen it

you're just a lonely boy

in a lonely world

who just keeps fucking up his shots

and any chance he gets at love

Cause you're just a lonely boy

You're just a stupid, lonely boy

I used to think you were kind (hah, sure)

someone I should even be looking up to

who'd never betray my trust

never go around making up facts

or talking shit behind my back

you sell yourself like you're a mystery to solve

I thought of you as the nicest guy in the whole world

wishing you would let me in

and then I peeked behind the curtain for a split second

and it finally made it clear

you watched my world crumble to pieces

you poured gasoline on the fire instead of putting out

I never thought you'd be so wicked

more than I'd foreseen it

even though you told me so

so self absorbed

act like you're so far above

and you might believe it

but I have seen it

you're just a lonely boy

in a lonely world

who just keeps lying to himself

and everyone he's ever crossed, you're so

fucking pretentious

hide behind your dad's protection

"I'll beg to differ"

you won't admit it

you're just a lonely boy in a nice car

who would rather take ten shots than shoot one

breaking his own heart

Cause you're just a lonely boy

You're just a stupid lonely boy

you know, you're just a fucking boy

just a lonely boy
