When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend
I can 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 will stay / I'm just
Trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend i'm who you want me to be
So I'm
Lying my way from you

Chorus:
(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
Cause 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 of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push
The more I'm pulling away
'Cause I'm
Lying my way from you

Chorus

This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this

Repeat 4X
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me

Chorus
