Lyrics

I'm a pretender, I do everything
To fit into my role
I see what you see to make you see me
I'll throw the whole concept of me overboard
Yes, I pretend I'm not lost
Act as I'm found
So convincing, you might think
My backbone's of stone
Won't laugh too loud or talk too much
Sometimes hold my breath
Just to prevent myself from cryin'
Inappropriate tears
Over inadequate fears
(Ooh, Oh, Oh...)
I hold on to the dream I was assigned
I deceive myself
To save your peace of mind
[Piano Solo]
Caught in a web of pretense and deceit
I long for something real
Why can't I see how to really be me
Behind all these layers, I'm strugglin' to feel
I gladly dive into each vessel you
Gave me to fulfill, and I will
Shift my shape and play my part
Not too shy nor bold
And pour myself into each mold
Until there's nothing left
