Pretender

(Album: Drinking From A Salt Pond - 2016)

What do you say to everyone that you meet?
When everything you say is so hard to believe
I know you mean well, man you can sell the shit out of yourself to everyone else

I know you hear me, I hear you too
You're making everything all about you
Real eyes realize real lies
And I caught you cheating on truth

Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, but I ain't your biggest fan

What do you mean with everything that's been said?
When everything said is broken and bent in different
Wait just a minute, I can't believe it
You're repairing yourself in front of everyone else

Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend
I am your best friend
I am your best friend

And I know you're trying, but the truth is flying out the door
And it hurts my heart when I see how much of me that you, that you are

Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, but I ain't your biggest fan

No no no
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no
I ain't your biggest fan
No no no
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no
No
