This Pretender
Surrendering to Deceptive Smiles: Unveiling the Depths of 'This Pretender'
Lyrics
Here you come knockin' on my heart like a sledge hammer
Feeling the impact of love forcefully entering the speaker's life.
Tearin' down these walls I built so high
Struggling with emotional barriers built to protect oneself.
I'm tryin' to hide the truth behind all this false glamour
Attempting to conceal the true self behind a facade of false attractiveness.
But somehow the truth still shows up in my eyes
Despite efforts to hide, the genuine emotions are still evident in the eyes.
Got a smile painted on my face
Wearing a smile to mask inner turmoil.
Got my heartache locked away prayin' you won't see
Keeping heartache hidden, hoping the other person remains unaware.
Stayin' steady, stayin' strong
Maintaining composure and strength in the face of emotional challenges.
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong 'til you look at me
Pretending that everything is fine until scrutinized closely.
Won't win this fight I surrender
Accepting defeat in the emotional struggle.
So turn another page of this pretender
Moving forward in the act of pretending, turning another page in the charade.
Sometimes I think I put it all behind me and I'm finally healing
Believing that the past is behind and healing is happening.
If you judge a book by it's cover then I'm alright
Appearing fine if judged superficially.
For a moment I find some piece of mind that my heart is stealing
Finding temporary peace while the heart is secretly in pain.
Looks like I'm livin' it up but I'm dyin' down deep inside
Living a facade, outwardly happy but internally suffering.
Oh yeah
Emphasizing the contrast between appearance and reality.
Got a smile painted on my face
Maintaining a false smile on the face.
Got my heartache locked away prayin' you won't see
Hiding emotional distress, praying it remains unnoticed.
Stayin' steady, stayin' strong
Remaining strong and composed despite underlying struggles.
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong 'til you look at me
Pretending that nothing is wrong until observed closely.
Won't win this fight I surrender
Acknowledging the inability to win the emotional battle.
So turn another page of this pretender
Continuing the facade, turning another page in the act of pretending.
Won't win this fight I surrender
Reiterating the surrender in the emotional struggle.
Mmm Mmm turn another page of this pretender
Continuing the cycle of pretending, turning another page.
Pretender, still your pretender
Highlighting the persistent role of being a pretender.
Turn another page
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of the pretense.
Pretender, still your pretender
Repeating the theme of being a pretender, turning another page in the act.
I'm livin' a lie I can't deny it
Admitting to living a lie that cannot be denied.
Pretender, still your pretender
Reaffirming the continuous role of being a pretender.
It's never ending, I'm always pretending
Expressing the perpetual nature of pretending, an endless cycle.
Pretender, still your pretender
Concluding with the acknowledgment of being a perpetual pretender.
