Pretend To Be

(album: Cellophane - 2023)

I got it right
We barely made it
Under the light
I see you when you
Know that it's time
It's time to let me go

Take my mind apart
And lead me where
You know that it's dark
How deep does it go?
Holding me back
Oh darling, let me go

Free from the start
It was all I could find
But the voice in your heart
Was it bad, bad, do you know?

You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah

Beat it out
Beat it out

Things got so pretty, things got so hard
I think I lost control
And all the dreaming that came to me
It was like a rolling storm

Free from the start
It was all I could find
But the voice in your heart
Was it bad, bad, do you know?

You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah

Out upon the banks you were looking for luck
Thinking through what you had done
There's a taste on your tongue that you can't get down
But you can't let yourself get burnt

I couldn't find
You are what you pretend to be
Into the night
I couldn't find
You are what you pretend to be
Could you be right

Don't you forget it

I couldn't find
You are what you pretend to be
Into the night
You are what you pretend to be
I couldn't find
You are what you pretend to be
Could you be right
You are what you pretend to be
