I give to you, you take from me

We live in perfect harmony

But i know you can't give me what i need

Wwith subtle care and rosey hues

We duke it out, we change our views

We hold so dear our unanimity

Oh...

We are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, lost in this charade

We are just pretenders, characters on stage

We are just pretenders, trying to break free

We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees

We try to find our peace of mind

Just a vestige we left behind

But ignorance takes far less energy

And if you please, i'll look to you

Because i need somebody who

Forgives me for my harsh reality

Oh...but

We are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, we're trying to break free

We are just pretenders, we'll lose them easily

We are just pretenders, trying to break free

We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees

You standing there

Playing with your hair

Trying to ignore

But peeking in the mirror

Re-living the scenes

From books and magazines

Craving the life

You live in your dreams

And i'm standing here

Thinking that it's queer

But fearing that i am the same

You ask me how i feel

It's so damn surreal

I think it's finally time we ended this game

'cause we are just pretenders

We are just pretenders, lost in this charade

We are just pretenders...
