Pretender Lyrics by HOKO

2023

Do I remember?
How could I forget?
You've always been a great pretender
Never surrender, do it again
Thought I could erase you but you always find some way of sneaking in

Feels like I'm tied up in a string
Hanging and watching as it frays, get the blade till i surrender

Promises, come and go
I thought I meant them but I don't really know anymore
You say you want me but you don't act like you really do at all
Unless you're sitting on your own you're happy when I'm here but not for long
You only need me when I'm gone

Just wanted to taste it, feel it again
You've always been a great pretender
And so I replace it, with one in the hand
Trying to fill a hole the shape of you that's burned into my head

Feels like we're running in a loop
Every time that I fall into you, you twist the blade till I surrender

Promises, come and go
I thought I meant them but I don't really know anymore
You say you want me but u don't act like you really do at all
Unless you're sitting on your own you're happy when I'm here but not for long
You only need me when I'm gone

Promises, come and go
I thought I meant them but I don't really know anymore
You think you know me but you don't act like you really do at all
Unless you're sitting on your own you're happy when I'm here but not for long
Do I remember?
How could I forget?
You've always been a great pretender
You say you want me but u don't act like you really do at all
Unless you're sitting on your own you're happy when I'm here but not for long
You only need me when I'm gone
