Pretender

[Verse 1]

There’s always a reason

To stay inside your head

But you’ll never make it out

So you found a reason (Give me a reason)

To make believe instead

Now you’re somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]

But you don’t have to hide your scars

Not from me tonight (At all)

[Chorus]

Show me the real you

Misunderstood can feel so good

You don’t have to hide yourself

Pretender, pretender

Show me the real you

Surrender yеah, I wish you would

You don’t have to hide yourself

Prеtender, pretend

[Verse 2]

That you are an ocean

Strong but delicate

It doesn’t matter where you run

For the next 2 minutes

Pretend that you are infinite (You are infinite)

And the hiding out is done

[Pre-Chorus]

But you don’t have to hide your scars

No not at all from me tonight (At all)

[Chorus]

Show me the real you

Misunderstood can feel so good

You don’t have to hide yourself

Pretender, pretender

Show me the real you

Surrender yeah, I wish you would

You don’t have to hide yourself

Pretender, pretender

Pretender, pretender

You don't have to hide

Pretender, pretender

No, you don't have to hide

[Bridge]

We all play roles as people, believe me

We’re lying to ourselves

Don’t belong, you don’t belong at all

You gotta be brave to be here, believe me

I hope you find yourself

Don’t belong

You don’t belong at all

[Chorus]

Show me the real you

Misunderstood can feel so good

You don’t have to hide yourself

Pretender, pretender

Show me the real you

Surrender yeah, I wish you would

You don’t have to hide yourself

Pretender, pretender

[Outro]

Pretender, pretender

You don't have to hide from me no more

Pretender, pretender

No, you don't have to hide

Pretender, pretender

Pretender, pretender
