when i pretend

　　everything is what i want it to be

　　i look exactly like what you had always wanted to see

　　when i pretend

　　i can forget about the criminal i am

　　stealing second after second just cause i know i can / but

　　i can't pretend this is the way it will stay / i'm just

　　trying to bend the truth

　　i can't pretend i'm who you want me to be

　　so i'm

　　lying my way from you

　　[no / no turning back now]

　　i wanna be pushed aside

　　so let me go

　　[no / no turning back now]

　　let me take back my life

　　i'd rather be all alone

　　[no turning back now]

　　anywhere on my own

　　cause i can see

　　[no / no turning back now]

　　the very worst part of you

　　is me

　　i remember what they taught to me

　　remember condescending talk of who i ought to be

　　remember listening to all of that and this again

　　so i pretended up a person who was fitting in

　　and now you think this person really is me and i'm

　　[trying to bend the truth]

　　but the more i push

　　the more i'm pulling away

　　'cause i'm

　　lying my way from you

　　this isn't what i wanted to be

　　i never thought that what i said

　　would have you running from me

　　like this

　　the very worst part of you

　　the very worst part of you

　　is me
