Pretender

James Patrick Kaleth, Halstead Bobby Godfrey Mitchell

Baby, it's been a hard time
Just to keep my loving alive
And I tried night after night
But only the shadows survived

You never gave anything to me
So I'm taking my heart back
'Cause even the heartless can see

You pretender pretender
And you got no lovin' to give
So remember pretender
Without a love
You can never live (inside)

You threw every line you knew
And like a fool
I fell from the start
But I got worked up for you
You shot your last arrow
Through my heart

I'm gettin' out while I still got time
And whoever you turn to
I'm sure they're gonna find

You pretender pretender
And you got no lovin' to give
So remember pretender
Without a love
You can never live

You know you had your day
So don't ask me to stay
'Cause I'll walk away

You pretender pretender
And you got no lovin' to give
So remember pretender
Without a love
You can never live

You pretender pretender
And you got no lovin' to give

Sam Harris
