Lyrics

nervous glances
second chances
you never even knew i gave you
run your fingers
through my hair and
i pretend it’s what i’m into

we’re on the edge of a cliff and you let me fall
you’re trying me for hours, don’t even know you called

i’m the great pretender
you might break but you can’t bend her
love’s the most impressive illusion
it’s a game you don’t know that you’re playing, but i know you’re losing

caught between a rock and a hard place
between my needs and that look on your face
hoping you won’t hurt, knowing you will
tears won’t come but deepest waters run still

we’re on the edge of a cliff and you push me off
you look for love in my eyes but it’s gone

i’m the great pretender
you might break but you can’t bend her
love’s the most impressive illusion
it’s a game you don’t know that you’re playing, but i know you’re losing

flowers can grow in prison walls
sun’s always bright after rain
will we flourish or will we fall?
all that i know now is there will be pain

i’m the great pretender
you might break but you can’t bend her
love’s the most impressive illusion
it’s a game you don’t know you’re playing, but i know that you’re losing
i know you’re losing
you know you’re losing me
we know we’re losing, see
it’s already history
