[00:00.00]This Pretender - The Hit Crew
[00:20.93]Here you come knockin' on my heart
[00:24.19]Like a sledge hammer
[00:29.80]Tearin' down these walls
[00:31.90]I built so high
[00:38.51]I'm tryin' to hide the truth
[00:40.57]Behind all this false glamor
[00:46.66]But somehow the truth
[00:48.51]Still shows up in my eyes
[00:56.56]Got a smile painted on my face
[01:01.03]Got my heartache locked away
[01:04.63]Prayin' you won't see
[01:09.84]Stayin' steady stayin' strong
[01:14.50]Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
[01:18.03]'Til you look at me

[01:21.97]I surrender
[01:24.90]So turn another page
[01:26.61]Of this pretender

[01:47.90]Then I'm alright
[01:54.62]For a moment
[01:55.91]I find some piece of mind
[01:58.78]That my heart is stealing
[02:02.30]Looks like I'm livin' it up
[02:04.44]But I'm dyin' down deep inside
[02:09.48]Oh yeah
[02:12.47]Got a smile painted on my face
[02:16.63]Got my heartache locked away
[02:20.60]Prayin' you won't see
[02:25.72]Stayin' steady stayin' strong
[02:30.49]Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
[02:33.77]'Til you look at me
[02:36.79]Won't win this fight I surrender

[02:42.77]Of this pretender
[02:45.33]Won't win this fight I surrender
[02:49.86]Mmm mmm turn another page
[02:51.54]Of this pretender
[02:59.50]Turn another page
[03:05.13]I'm livin' a lie I can't deny it
