Pretender

Denim and salty hair

Walked in the room like you just don't care

You came out of nowhere

God, it was unfair

Gone in a flash like a blinking eye

I think of the past and I don't know why

Baby, you're nowhere

But I still try to go there

I wish that we could run away together

Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go

I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever

But honestly, I'll never be a great pretender

Now I know what it's like in Hell

It's seeing you out with someone else

Knowing you're happy

Knowing you have me, oh

Wrapped around your finger

Like a wedding ring I never got to

Give you but it's fine

You'll only live forever in my mind

I wish that we could run away together

Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go

I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever

But honestly, I'll never be a great pretender

I'll never be, I'll never be

I wish that we could run away together

Instead I'm running out of ways to let you go

I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever

But honestly, honestly

I wish that we could run away together

Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go

I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever

But honestly, I'll never be a great pretender
