Pretender Lyrics by johan lenox

everybody’s cool but me

2019

[Chorus]
I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashin'
But it don't even matter
'Cause I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashin'
But it don't even matter

[Verse 1]
Saying that I love you just to get with you
Acting like I got my shit together
Acting like I miss you 'cause I'm lonely
It ain't about you, that's just my own shit
I fake a smile, get me through the weekend
No one really knowin' what I'm feeling
Smoke a bowl and I don't even like it
Keep them comfortable to stay invited

[Pre-Chorus]
Touching myself 'til you touch me
Can't love myself 'til you love me
Ain't no one fuck with the real me
You feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashin'
But it don't even matter

[Verse 2]
Chill at home, pretend I had the best night
Bailed on people, I still wanna invite
Tellin' both my friends I'm with the other
Shit don't make no sense, why do I bother?

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a pretender
Yeah, I'm just a pretender
I stay up on the fashion
I just want that attention
You think that I'm friendly
I just hate feeling tension
I'm just tryna be smashin'
But it don't even matter
'Cause I'm a pretender
