Pretend to Be Me Lyrics by Nightkingale

Heavenly Night

2024

[Verse]
Tick tock, tick tock, time's running out
Days go by and I’m feeling like a drought
And honestly, I'm not really sure what it's about
I just know that it means that I’m frankly burnt out
Knock knock, knock knock, death's imminent
He stares at you with a malicious grin
Hiding behind a mask, and his grim stare lingering
When he comes to get you, will you reach heaven?
[Chorus]
I'm just some guy, I'm just trying to get by
I wish that I could be free
If there's no way for me to be real me
I'll just pretend to be me
[Verse]
I tell myself that I'm never enough
I told myself that lately I'm not measuring up
It’s all ’He said, she said"
When in the end, round the bend, I'm just out here tryna get all ahead
And honestly, it ain’t even about the bread
I just wanna feel like I been fit in instead
I mean, how's it feel when you feel isolated
And you're making meme songs to let you feel liberated
And when you turn around, look at what you created
You somehow feel frustrated, even though you just pretended
And then reality, it hits you like a truck
Your momma sends you off and she tells you good luck
And you're stuck
Honestly, that feeling must suck
I kinda wonder if I’m here where I am by luck
All my peers around me, I wonder if they had enough
I wonder what they think of me, even out of this stuff
But there's part of me that kind of enjoys this stuff
So if anybody's listening, I'll make more stuff
But at the same time, there's something missing
When I'm at the table what do I bring
And I know damn well that I'm no king
Especially when it comes to this music thing
But does anybody laugh or care when I sing?
Should I have thrown my hat into the ring?
[Chorus]
I'm just some guy, I'm just trying to get by
I wish that I could be free
If there's no way for me to be real me
I'll just pretend to be me
I'm just some guy, I'm just trying to get by
I wish that I could be free
If there's no way for me to be real me
I'll just pretend to be me
