Lyrics The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

Contender

Look what you've done

Look what you've done, what do you have now?

Things that never come

I'm laying here in a dead end room, is it time to come down?

At the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"

But you never were

You never were a contender

I heard your same old tune

Singing city sins like you were the first one

Gave up books for film

Gave up film for time now that you've got none

At the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"

At the back of a crowded scene

You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"

But you never were

You never were a contender

A contender

You never were a contender

You never were a contender
