John O'Callaghan Pretender

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
There’s always a reason
To stay inside your head
But you’ll never make it out
So you found a reason (give me a reason)
To make believe instead
Now you’re somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don’t have to hide your scars
Not from me tonight (at all)

[Chorus]
Show me the real you
Misunderstood can feel so good
You don’t have to hide yourself
Pretender, pretender
Show me the real you
Surrender yеah, I wish you would
You don’t have to hide yourself
Prеtender, pretend

[Verse 2]
That you are an ocean
Strong but delicate
It doesn’t matter where you run
For the next 2 minutes
Pretend that you are infinite (you are infinite)
And the hiding out is done

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don’t have to hide your scars
No not at all from me tonight (at all)

[Chorus]
Show me the real you
Misunderstood can feel so good
You don’t have to hide yourself
Pretender, pretender
Show me the real you
Surrender yeah, I wish you would
You don’t have to hide yourself
Pretender, pretender
Pretender, pretender
You don’t have to hide
Pretender, pretender
No, you don’t have to hide

[Bridge]
We all play roles as people, believe me
We’re lying to ourselves
Don’t belong, you don’t belong at all
You gotta be brave to be here, believe me
I hope you find yourself
Don’t belong
You don’t belong at all

[Chorus]
Show me the real you
Misunderstood can feel so good
You don’t have to hide yourself
Pretender, pretender
Show me the real you
Surrender yeah, I wish you would
You don’t have to hide yourself
Pretender, pretender

[Outro]
Pretender, pretender
You don’t have to hide from me no more
Pretender, pretender
No, you don’t have to hide
Pretender, pretender
Pretender, pretender
