What do you say to everyone that you meet
When everything you say is so hard to believe?
I know you mean well, man you can't sell the shit out of yourself to everyone else
I know you hear me, I hear you too
You're making everything all about you
Realise, realise, real lies, and I caught you cheating on truth
Mr Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they aren't fooling anyone
Mr Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend but I ain't your biggest fan
What do you mean with everything that's been said?
Everything said, it's broken and bent in different
Wait just a minute, I can't believe it
You're repairing yourself in front of everyone else
Mr Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they aren't fooling anyone
Mr pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, I am your best friend, I am your best friend
And I know you're trying, but the truth is flying out the door
And it hurts my heart when I see how much of me that you, that you are
Mr Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they aren't fooling anyone
Mr pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, but I ain't your biggest fan
No no no, yeah yeah yeah, no no no
I ain't your biggest fan
No no no, yeah yeah yeah, no no no
