Master Pretender - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Klara Söderberg]

Never thought that I was weak

Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad

Still get up on my own two feet

I always believed that I was free

That I had some sense of integrity

That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But honey, now I won't wait

For something to bring me round and smile

‘Cause that only sticks for a while

Then I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

[Verse 2: Johanna Söderberg, (Both)]

I always knew that I was young

But with (a head held high and a sharp tongue)

(I could fool most anyone)

I never expected to be struck

By the (fatal hands of fortune)

(Or by sheer bad luck)

Honey, now we won't change

And memories just rearrange

And fall into place

So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

All the streets of New York City

Sure look pretty from way up here

And I was headed home

Just felt more alone

The further I'd go

I always thought that you'd be here

But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear

So honey, now, don't be mad

Time has told me it can't be that bad

And if it is, well, I'll be goddamned

But I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender

Yeah, I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender

Yeah!
