I give to you, you take from me
We live in perfect harmony
But I know you can't give me what I need

With subtle care and rosey hues
We duke it out, we change our views
We hold so dear our unanimity

Oh...

We are just pretenders [4x]

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 [4x]
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
Reliving 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 [4x]
We are just pretenders, lost in this charade
We are just pretenders..
