Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a good pretender
Won't you come see my show?
(Won't you come see my show?)
I got lots of problems
Well, good thing nobody knows
(Good thing nobody knows)
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm insecure, I'm insecure
I think I like what I'm supposed to
Like what I'm supposed to
I don't even mess with drugs
I do that 'cause you say it's dope to
You say it is dope to
[Verse 3]
I'm a good pretender
I'm not really cool
I'm a good pretender
'Cause I'm just like you
I do not belong here
You all clearly do
But I'm a good pretender
So I'm just like you
[Verse 4]
I'm a good pretender
I'm a good pretender
[Verse 5]
(Steve Aoki, Lil Boat)
I look happy in every picture
Just so you'd think I am
I never say no to pictures
'Cause that's just the person I am
In high school, I was tryna figure myself out
I was tryna be just like him (Okay)
Tryna do things I don't usually do (Why?)
I'm pretendin' to be too cool
I wish my mother had more sons
I wish my friends were my brothers
I wish my ex-girlfriend didn't cheat
She pretended to be my lover
In front of the camera screen
I make it look just like a movie scene
Diamonds on my hand, call me Lord of The Rings
Still insecure behind the scenes though
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'm insecure, I'm insecure
I think I like what I'm supposed to
Like what I'm supposed to
I don't even mess with drugs
I do that 'cause you say it's dope to
You say it is dope to
[Verse 7]
I'm a good pretender
I'm not really cool (Okay)
I'm a good pretender (Yeah)
'Cause I'm just like you
I do not belong here (No)
You all clearly do
But I'm a good pretender
'Cause I'm just like you
[Verse 8]
I'm a good pretender
I'm a good pretender
[Verse 9]
I'm just like you and do you like me too?
Now I'm just like you
I'm a good pretender
