And you were just a pretender
I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember
Take me back to September
Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender
And I've been doing well sober
Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure
I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over
I need you now forever girl need you so much closer
It's true I knew that I was wrong
Thought you'd try to play along
Lay my heart out in the song
I know you're free from me for good
Pretend I know how to belong
When I've been broken all along
I told you once that I was strong
I'm on my knees misunderstood
And you were just a pretender
I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember
Take me back to September
Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender
And I've been doing well sober
Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure
I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over
I need you now forever girl need you so much closer
It's true you made me famous never thought that I could make it
The pain I felt was real you know that I could never fake it
All I knew was wake up numb my brain and just stay faded
I guess that I'm a better man depression's overrated
But girl -please don't leave me stay and walk by my side
Without your pretty life I know I'd fall back in mine
Got so much more to give since I've been living full time
You exorcised my demons and I'm lucky you're mine
And you were just a pretender
I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember
Take me back to September
Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender
And I've been doing well sober
Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure
I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over
I need you now forever girl need you so much closer
