Foo Fighters - The Pretender Lyrics

Send "The Pretender" ringtones to your cell

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend 
Keep you in the dark and so it all began 

Send in your skeletons 
Sing as their bones come marching in again 
The need you buried deep 
The secrets that you keep are at the ready, are you ready? 

I'm finished making sense 
Done pleading ignorance that whole defense 
Spinning infinity, but the wheel is spinning me 
It's never ending, never ending 
Same old story 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say I will never surrender 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say that I'll never surrender 

In time or so I'm told 
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well 
The page is out of print 
We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary 
Same old story 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say that I'll never surrender 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say I will never surrender 

I'm the voice inside your head, you refuse to hear 
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrored in your stare 
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy 
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees 

So, who are you? 
Yeah, who are you? 
Yeah, who are you? 
Yeah, who are you? 

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say I will never surrender 

What if I say I'm not like the others 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
You're the pretender 
What if I say that I'll never surrender 

What if I say I'm not like the others? 
(Keep you in the dark) 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
(You know they all) 
You're the pretender 
(Pretend) 
What if I say I will never surrender 

What if I say I'm not like the others? 
(Keep you in the dark) 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
(You know they all) 
You're the pretender 
(Pretend) 
What if I say I will never surrender 

So who are you 
Yeah who are you 
Yeah who are you!
