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

But I can't pretend this is the way

It will 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 wanna be pushed aside

So let me go

(No, no turning back now)

Let me take 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)

But the more I push

The more I'm pulling away

'Cause I'm

Lying my way from you

This isn't what I wanted to be

I never thought that what I said

Would have you running from me

Like this(4x)

YOU

The very worst part of you

The very worst part of you

Is me
