Karaoké The Pretender Lewis Capaldi

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

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

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

I'm the pretender what can I tell ya

Designed to deceive

So tell me who you want me to be

I can wear a million faces 'cos I don't like the one underneath

Always found it easy to fake it

Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

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

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

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

I'm the pretender what can I tell ya

Designed to deceive

So tell me who you want me to be

And I'll be

Be my best impression of what you'll expect from me

But what you don't see

Is I spend almost all of my time feeling like I'm falling even further behind

I know I'm so good at seeming

Like I'm not on the edge of a knife

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

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
