Pretender

Lyrics for Pretender

I like it when you take the reigns It's easier than playing games I've come to appreciate a direct exchange I'm stronger now that I'm softer too I'm older now But feel younger than when I Pretended to know everything Wanted to win rather than learn something I'm glad I stayed myself Even when I wanted to be someone else I didn't listen with my gut and it shows I could never get too close Had all my walls up But I am more than my defenses I'll break them all down I've made promises to myself and I intend to keep them I deserve my honesty How sweet it could be If I could love myself Even when I wanted to be someone else
