I’m pretending. pretending to be who I am
Denied the role but I’m still in the film
Of my life in a supporting cast
So much for those who said I wouldn’t last
I’M PRETENDING, PRETENDING TO BE ME
PLAYING THE ROLE THAT YOU SEE
I play, playing the part even if I don’t fit
It’s once in a lifetime and I'd never quit
I’ll play me even if I have to fake
Roll film, I’ll get it down in one take
I’M PRETENDING, PRETENDING TO BE ME
PLAYING THE ROLE THAT YOU SEE
I see, seeing you watch all in confusion
Wondering if I am me or just an illusion
If the act seems out of control
Remember, I'm not me, I just play the role
I’M PRETENDING, PRETENDING TO BE ME
PLAYING THE ROLE THAT YOU SEE
