Lyrics
I’ve heard it all before the rumors, the insults, and more
Up in my face like I’m your favorite habit said I’m a mistake, I’m girly, and dramatic
Who knew turning eight would be so damn traumatic? Not me
Don’t pretend you’re sorry
I just like what I like you slurred my name, made it a crime
I was so quiet, minded my own business you made me think twice, second guess, ask permission
I never jumped, I was pushed off the cliff of my innocence
I’m done pretending
I’ve forgotten, I’m fine that’s the biggest damn lie
Your words cut like a knife I drove 'em deeper inside
You messed with my head I live with regret
Of walking away head held high 'cause I was
Pretending, pretending, pretending it was all good, I was
Pretending, pretending, pretending I’m good at
Pretending, pretending, everybody’s happier when I’m
Pretending, pretending, pretending
I forgot what it’s like to be myself, now who am I?
Burnin’ my clothes 'cause they match the description you printed posters with my name in crimson
Stereotypical case a reflection of your own self-hate
I’m done pretending
I had the time of my life more like a tragic demise
Like a grave in the ground you hollowed me out
Put doubts in my head I doubted my friends
Laughed along with the jokes can’t be broke if I’m
Pretending, pretending, pretending it was all good, I was
Pretending, pretending, pretending I’m good at
Pretending, pretending, pretending
Oh woah
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hate that I was ever so scared of you
Hate how your hate cut right through me
Hate that I helped clean up your crimes
Hid the bruises and pretended they were never mine
Pretending, pretending, pretending it was all good, I was
Pretending, pretending, pretending I’m good at
Pretending, pretending, I wasn’t happy I was just pretending, pretending
Ooh pretending
I was pretending
I’m done pretending, pretending
Everyone’s happier when I’m pretending
I’m done pretending
Pretending, pretending, pretending it was all good, I was
Pretending, pretending, pretending I’m good at
Pretending, pretending, I’m happy now that I am done
Pretending, pretending, pretending
