pretending (a song) I guess that I got used to, Being someone else, I guess I was too afraid, To try and be myself. Maybe I was scared, Of what people would say, Or maybe I was worried, Someone would love me one day. I think I was concerned, That I wouldn't be enough, I think I was afraid, That it'd be too tough. [chorus] I pretended to be, Someone I'm not, Pretended I didn't, Have a broken heart. I always said, That I was okay, I told you I, Had a good day. I always smiled, When you were there, But when you weren't, It'd disappear. I guess that I thought, That I'd get hurt, Or I thought, I'd break a heart. Then I discovered, Pretending was too hard, And I picked up, My fallen heart. I was scared at first, But I tried my best, Didn't think I could do it, But #life's a test. [chorus] I showed them all, Who I am, They didn't judge, And my #life was never the same.
