When I pretend,

everything is what I want it be,

I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see

I can't forget about the criminal I am

Stealing second after second

just cause I know I can, but

I can't pretend

this is they way it will stay, I'm just

(Lying to defend the truth)

I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be so

(I'm lying my way from)

You

(Nah, no turning back now)

I wanna be closed inside so let me go

(Nah, no turning back now)

Let me take back my life

I'd rather be all alone

(No turning back now)

And anywhere on my own, cause I can't see

(Nah, no turning back now)

The very worst part of you

IS ME

I remember what they taught to me,

Remember condescending talk of who it ought to be

Remember listening to all of that and this again

So I pretended up a person who was fitting in

And now you think this person really is me and I

(Trying to defend the truth )

yo, the more I push I\'m pulling away cause I\'m

(Lying my way from)

You

(Nah, no turning back now)

I wanna be closed inside so let me go

(Nah, no turning back now)

Let me take back my life

I'd rather be all alone

(No turning back now)

And anywhere on my own, cause I can\'t see

(Nah, no turning back now)

The very worst part of you

The very worst part of you

IS ME

This isn't what I wanted to be,

I never thought what I said

would have you running from me

LIKE THIS!

This isn't what I wanted to be,

I never thought what I said

would have you running from me

LIKE THIS!

This isn't what I wanted to be,

I never thought what I said

would have you running from me

LIKE THIS!

This isn't what I wanted to be,

I never thought what I said

would have you running from me

LIKE THIS!

You

(Nah, no turning back now)

I wanna be closed inside so let me go

(Nah, no turning back now)

Let me take back my life

I'd rather be all alone

(No turning back now)

And anywhere on my own, cause I can\'t see

(Nah, no turning back now)

The very worst part of you

The very worst part of you

IS ME
