When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always
Wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay
I'm just trying to bend the truth.
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm lying my way from you

(No/No turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
(No/No turning back now)
let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
'cause I can see
(No/No turning back now)
The very worst part of you
Is me

I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I oughtta 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'm trying to bend the truth.
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away
'Cause I'm lying my way from you

(No/No turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
(No/No turning back now)
let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
'cause I can see
(No/No turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me

This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this

(No/No turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
(No/No turning back now)
let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
'cause I can see
(No/No turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
