Pretender Lyrics by Run River North

Drinking from a Salt Pond

2016

[Verse 1]
What do you say to everyone that you meet?
When everything you say is so hard to believe
I know you mean well, man you can sell the shit out of yourself to everyone else

[Verse 2]
I know you hear me, I hear you too
You're making everything all about you
Real eyes, realize, real lies
And I caught you cheating on truth

[Chorus]
Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, but I ain't your biggest fan

[Verse 3]
What do you mean with everything that's been said?
When everything said is broken and bent in different-
Wait just a minute, I can't believe it
You're repairing yourself in front of everyone else

[Chorus]
Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend
I am your best friend
I am your best friend

[Bridge]
And I know you're trying, but the truth is flying out the door
And it hurts my heart when I see how much of me that you, that you are

[Chorus]
Mr. Pretender, come and see what you've done
Your foolish tricks, they ain't fooling anyone
Mr. Pretender, don't you know who I am?
I am your best friend, but I ain't your biggest fan

[Outro]
No no no
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no
I ain't your biggest fan
No no no
Yeah yeah yeah
No no no
(No)
