| Lyrics: | Pretender I see a picture mash-up of our faces plastered on the screen And on the cover of a fabricated glossy magazine Happy face exaggerated and everything you say Coming across insincerely and as disingenuous And now it feels like you're pretending Everything I hear you say And though your hand might be extending I see your eyes divert away Looking up you wave to me and then you introduce your friends whom I've never seen before and likely never will again Suddenly it's hard to breath and my eyes roll up into my head and I'm woken by your text as you can't be bothered to come down And now it feels like you're pretending To care about the things you say Like a trend that's never ending Or a hand that's overplayed Buyin' another paper map inside a joint called the "Rusty Rig" I order up a ginger-bear and I take a messy swig And as I'm taking out my phone I give it one last final stare And I toss it in the bin and walk away without looking back And now it feels like you're pretending Scripting everything you say But in my alternative ending You'll see me spin and peel away |
