In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

I spend almost all of my time

Designed to deceive

So tell me who you want me to be

I can wear a million faces

Always found it easy to fake it

      D
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

And I know that

But you never will

Like I'm not on the edge of a knife

I feel like everything I do is a lie

                       A/E
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

Designed to deceive

And I'll be

       D                                       F#m
Be my best impression of what you expect from me

          E         D
But what you don't see is
[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time

                 A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind

And I know I'm so good at seeming

A/E                             Asus2/E

             A/E                    Asus2/E
And I'm an imposter, but hell is a mender

           D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
