  S1:
  I will be your shoulder to cry on 

  I will make you laugh if you need 

  I will play the part if you say so 

  Yeah, I'll be anybody but me
• EmiDCDEmiDC
  S2:
  To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool 

  You don't know that  

  And you never will 

  In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

  R1:
  I spend almost all of my time 

  Feeling like I'm falling even further behind 

  And I know I'm so good at seeming 

  Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
• Cadd9Emi7D6Cadd9G
  R2:
  I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya 

  Designed to deceive, so, tell me who you want me to be

  S3:
  I can wear a million faces 

  'Cause I don't like the one underneath 

  Always found it easy to fake it 

  Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

  S4:
  To tell you the truth, I'm the fraud in the room 

  And I know that  

  But you never will 

  In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

  R3:
  I feel like everything I do is a lie 

  And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes 

  I know I'm no good at being 

  Who I am away from the light

  Be my best impression 

  Of what you expect from me 

  But what you don't see-ee

  I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya 

  And I'm an imposter, but Hell is a mender 

  I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya 

  Designed to deceive, so, tell me who you want me to be
