Pretender

Do I remember?

How could I forget

You've always been a great pretender

Never surrender

Do it again

Thought I could erase you

But you always find some way of sneaking in

Feels like I'm tied up in a string

Hanging and watching as it frays

Get the blade till I surrender

Promises come and go

I thought I meant them but I don't really know anymore

You say you want me

But you don't act like you really do at all

Unless you're sitting on your own

You're happy when I'm here but not for long

You only need me when I'm gone

Just wanted to taste it

Feel it again

You've always been a great pretender

And so I replace it with one in the hand

Trying to fill a hole the shape of you

That's burned into my head

Feels like we're running in a loop

Every time that I fall into you

You twist the blade till I surrender

Promises come and go

I thought I meant them but

I don't really know anymore

You say you want me

But you don't act like you really do at all

Unless you're sitting on your own

You're happy when I'm here but not for long

You only need me when I'm gone

Promises come and go

I thought I meant it but I don't

Really know anymore

You think you know me but

You don't act like you really do at all

Unless you're sitting on your own

You're happy when I'm here but not for long

Do I remember?

How could I forget

You've always been a great pretender

You say you want me

But you don't act like you really do at all

Unless you're sitting on your own

You're happy when I'm here but not for long

You only need me when I'm gone
