When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't 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'll stay I'm just
Lying 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 back my life I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own cuz 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 for who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
Trying to bend the truth
Cuz the more I push the more I'm pulling away cuz I'm
Lying my way from you
