Pretenders

I give to you, you take from me

We live in perfect harmony

But I know you cant give me what I need

Wwith subtle care and rosey hues

We duke it out, we change our views

We hold so dear our unanimity

Oh...

We are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, lost in this charade

We are just pretenders, characters on stage

We are just pretenders, trying to break free

We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees

We try to find our peace of mind

Just a vestige we left behind

But ignorance takes far less energy

And if you please, Ill look to you

Because I need somebody who

Forgives me for my harsh reality

Oh...but

We are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, were trying to break free

We are just pretenders, well lose them easily

We are just pretenders, trying to break free

We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees

You standing there

Playing with your hair

Trying to ignore

But peeking in the mirror

Re-living the scenes

From books and magazines

Craving the life

You live in your dreams

And Im standing here

Thinking that its queer

But fearing that I am the same

You ask me how I feel

Its so damn surreal

I think its finally time we ended this game

cause we are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, lost in this charade

We are just pretenders...
