Pretenders
[Verse 1: Cameron Smith]
I never wanted to break down through this corruption
Breathe in and out all your sorrows and pain
Give me a sign to return from the darkness
Shed me some light, show me what's right
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Vazquez]
Did I hear you say "What do we live for"
"When everything we care about is fading away?"
I swear I heard you say "What do we live for"
"Can we think about it, talk about it?"
[Chorus: Anthony Vazquez]
And we'll pretend the lies we refused to see
Were easier to make than believe
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth
You know we'd lose it
[Verse 2: Cameron Smith & Anthony Vazquez]
I remember these words you placed in my head
And made me regret all the things that I said
Where were you all last night?
Take time to think about it
Everything you've ever known we had is dead and gone
Every second within every moment
The only thought of you was a lie
A mother fucking lie (Wooh!)
Every second within every moment
I lost it in the blink of an eye
[Chorus: Anthony Vazquez & Cameron Smith]
And we'll pretend the lies we refused to see
Were easier to make than believe
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth
You know we'd lose it
The lies we refused to see
Are easier to make than believe
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth
You know we would lose it
[Breakdown: Anthony Vazquez & Cameron Smith]
Black, my heart is filled with rage
And at the end of the story
These words will never (never)
Never (never) guide you back to me
[Verse 1: Cameron Smith]
I never wanted to break down through this corruption
Breathe in and out all your sorrows and pain
Give me a sign to return from the darkness
Shed me some light, show me what's right
