PRETENDER Lyrics by Evenson

2023

(Verse 1)
I ran away
Cause I had nothing to give
I needed space
When you needed love
Might be the case
That I just don’t deserve you

(Verse 2)
I shed a tear
But it dried before you left
And yet I fear
The chance you’ll come back
It’s such a shame
That I cannot resist you

(Pre-Chorus)
Are we all that we are from the start
Or is there more that we’ll become
Are we ll all that we are from the start
I can’t escape it

(Chorus)
Avoiding your affection
Holding onto emptiness like a drug
I just wanna be somebody to love
But I know that I’m just a pretender
Devoid of a connection
But I’m tempted by the thought of your touch
I just wanna be somebody to love

(Verse 3)
I see your face
And I fall right back
I shouldn’t stay
Cause I know I’m hurting from it
It’s safe to say
That nothings changed after all

(Pre-Chorus)
Are we all that we are from the start
Or is there more that we’ll become
Are we ll all that we are from the start
I can’t escape it

(Chorus)
Avoiding your affection
Holding onto emptiness like a drug
I just wanna be somebody to love
But I know that I’m just a pretender
Devoid of a connection
But I’m tempted by the thought of your touch
I just wanna be somebody to love
