Pretender

How many mountains to get some confidence
How many debates to earn some tailwind
The years pass, I’m still the same 
What will it take, why the wait

Up and down
I’m losing ground 

Pretender tell me, what to believe 
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying 
Big spender show me, how to succeed 
My wallet is spreading thin 
Oh oh what to do 
I am me and not you 
Oh oh what to say  
Please make the strain go away, pretender 

How many right turns, to reach some kind of goal
How many dressing up, for me to play some ball
Seasons change, still the same range  
What will it take, tell me why the wait 

Up and down 
I’m moving around 

Pretender tell me, what to believe 
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying 
Big spender show me, how to succeed 
My wallet is spreading thin 
Oh oh what to do 
I am me and not you 
Oh oh what to say  
Please make the strain go away, pretender 

Just don’t ask me to lie 
No I, I’d give anything else a try, pretender 

Pretender tell me, what to believe 
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying 
Big spender show me, how to succeed 
My wallet is spreading thin 
Oh oh what to do 
I am me and not you 
Oh oh what to say 
Please make the strain go away, pretender 

Pretender tell me, what to believe 
I ain’t got a sweet tooth for lying 
Big spender show me, how to succeed 
My wallet is spreading thin 
Oh oh what to do 
I am me and not you 
Oh oh what to change 
I seem to be stuck in this lane, pretender
