The Pretender

I will be your shoulder to cry on
I will make you laugh if you need
I will play the part if you say so
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me
To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool
You don't know that
And you never will
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
And I know I'm so good at seeming
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
Designed to deceive
So tell me who you want me to be
I can wear a million faces
'Cause I don't like the one underneath
Always found it easy to fake it
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me
To tell you the truth, I'm the fraud in the room
And I know that
But you never will
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
And I know I'm so good at seeming
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
I feel like everything I do is a lie
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
Designed to deceive
So tell me who you want me to be
And I'll be
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
But what you don't see

To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool
Para decirte la verdad, soy un desastre, soy un tonto
You don't know that
No lo sabes

Om je de waarheid te vertellen, ik ben een puinhoop, ik ben een gek
Jij weet dat niet
En dat zul je nooit
In mijn geest is het gegraveerd het niet te laten zien

Alsof ik niet op de rand van een mes sta
Ik heb het gevoel dat alles wat ik doe een leugen is
En al de woorden trekken gewoon de wol verder over mij ogen
En ik ben niet goed in het zijn wie ik ben weg van het licht
Ik ben de huichelaar, wat kan ik je zeggen?
En ik ben de bedrieger, de hel is een hersteller
Ik ben de huichelaar, wat kan ik je zeggen?
Ontworpen om te misleiden
