Again, she tries to find a friend
But they don't know where she's been
No, she plays pretend
Now she don't cry cause nothing lasts forever
Up all night, she dances with the devil
When she's all alone she remembers
She's a lost soul, a pretender
And she hates it more than ever
When she's waiting where he left her
When her heart broke in September
Where you hide now, Ms. Pretender
Hiding, she be hiding when she smiling
She be lying, said she's fine but
She don't like what's left behind us
Deep inside she plays pretend
You don't like to keep it all inside you
Slow-mo, fast life, put you in the right mood
Time flew, yeah there ain't no one like you
Hiding, seeking, I can't find you
She been trapped in a memory
Missing out on a remedy
Fucked up off the Hennessy
She pretends to be what her friends believe
Now I wish she could see herself
When she's all alone with no one else
When her friends go home and they can't tell
She ain't been feeling well, oh well
She don't cry cause nothing lasts forever
Up all night, she dances with the devil
When she's all alone she remembers
She's a lost soul, a pretender
And she hates it more than ever
When she's waiting where he left her
When her heart broke in September
Where you hide now, Ms. Pretender
She's so tired of not feeling like enough
So when her time is up, or when the night is done
Yeah, she's so tired of not feeling like enough
So when her time is up, don't take her
She don't cry cause nothing lasts forever
Up all night, she dances with the devil
When she's all alone she remembers
That she's tired of playing pretender
She don't cry cause nothing lasts forever
Up all night, she dances with the devil
When she's all alone she remembers
She's a lost soul, a pretender
