Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
[Verse 2]
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay, I'm just
Trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm
Lying my way from you
No, no turning back now
I want to be pushed aside, so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life, I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you is me
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
Trying to bend the truth
The more I push, the more I'm pulling away, 'cause I'm
Lying my way from you
No, no turning back now
I want to be pushed aside, so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life, I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me
[Bridge]
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
You
No turning back now
I want to be pushed aside, so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life, I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me
