The Day We Left Earth - Pretender Lyrics

PRETENDER

Going round and round in circles,
Some wounds will never heal.
From yesterday I can feel it coming.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I go to war with myself.

I never said it would be easy to go on
When there's nothing left.
I shed my skin, I tried to be someone else.
I lived too long as the pretender,
Had to become my own protector.
I fought so long, I don't know who I am.
The pretender.

I can't forgive forget, because theres nothing left.
I couldn't face the truth,
ignored the pain deep in my chest.
Now the demons loud, but I am still too proud.
To see you can't outrun yourself.

I am the rage, the fire and the flames
That's burning in you.

I never said it would be easy to go on
When theres nothing left.
I shed my skin, I tried to be someone else.
I lived too long as the pretender,
Had to become my own protector.
I fought so long, I don't know who I am.
The pretender.

Grown to hate the part you made me play.
I had to make the choice to stay away.
The pretender.

I shed my skin, I tried to be someone else.
Someone else.
The pretender, the pretender.
I fought so long, I don't know who I am.
The pretender.
