[Intro]

Oh, Mr. Pretender, you lie, lie, and lie

[Verse 1]

You wear your mask like it's your crown

Your words build me up just to tear me down

Behind that smile, there's a twisted game

And every time I fall, it's the same

[Chorus]

Oh, Mr. Pretender, you lie, lie, and lie

Everything you say is a sweet disguise

Oh, Mr. Pretender, I can't trust you no more

You closed the window, slammed the door

[Verse 2]

You paint the sky, but the colors fade

Promises you make are a masquerade

Your tales are tall, but the truth is small

And now I won't catch you when you fall

[Chorus]

Oh, Mr. Pretender, you lie, lie, and lie

Everything you say is a sweet disguise

Oh, Mr. Pretender, I can't trust you no more

You closed the window, slammed the door

[Bridge]

I see the cracks in your porcelain face

The truth is hiding in the empty space

No more illusions, no more charade

I'm stepping out of the mess you made

[Chorus]

Oh, Mr. Pretender, you lie, lie, and lie

Everything you say is a sweet disguise

Oh, Mr. Pretender, I can't trust you no more

You closed the window, slammed the door
