"Pretenders" lyrics

The ones you love to hurt
Always the ones you love
Ashamed of everything
Should've been thankful of

Folks covered up with roses might envy everyone
But you're just dressing up to go messing up
See you run around, everyone in town
The one you're thinking of's gone and not coming back
But pretending's fun

You watch the days go by
Dreading them one by one
You love your sleep so much
For something that rarely comes

Folks covered up with roses might envy everyone
But you're just dressing up to go messing up
See you run around, everyone in town
The one you're thinking of's gone and not coming back

But pretending's easy to do, I should know
I've locked away the tears I want to show to you
But I don't know
I don't know

When I see you dressing up to go messing up
See you run around, everyone in town
The one I'm thinking of's gone and not coming home
But pretending's fun
