lyrics

Oh, to be a pretender, stepping out the door,
No one giving you grief, and no one rolling their eyes anymore
No on ever remembers your mistakes or oddness,
You're a tabula rasa, no one knows who you are anymore

Oh, to be a pretender, heaven knows I've tried,
With the weight of the world up off your shoulders, and somewhere to hide,
Every day is a new day, and you're getting older,
But what you gotta give up and what you get's still something you decide

Oh, to be a pretender, living day to day,
No one pulling your heartstrings, no one telling you what to say
They can only connect to you through your persona
When you change like the weather, what they knew of you melts away

Oh, to be a pretender, what do we betray?
¿Don't the many disguises that you lie through guide you astray?
If I were a pretender, not a soul would buy it
Each of us, in a fashion, always giving ourselves away

Oh, to be a pretender, living day to day,
No one pulling your heartstrings, no one asking you to convey
You can only connect to them through your persona
When you change like the weather, what you mean to them melts away

Each of us, a pretender, stepping out the door,
I'll be fidgeting guilelessly, and you'll be the same evermore,
But I'll remain a pretender till somebody buys it,
Oh , to be a pretender, no one knows how you were anymore
