I give to you, you take from me
|
We live in perfect harmony
|
But I know you can't 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, I'll look to you
|
Because I need somebody who
|
forgives me for my harsh reality
|
Oh...but
|
We are just pretenders
|
We are just pretenders, we're trying to break free
|
We are just pretenders, we'll 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 I'm standing here
|
Thinking that it's queer
|
But fearing that I am the same
|
You ask me how I feel
|
It's so damn surreal
|
I think it's finally time we ended this game
|
'cause we are just pretenders
|
We are just pretenders, lost in this charade
|
We are just pretenders...
