False Pretense

False Pretense

(album: Don´t You Fake It)

Oh, it´s time to let it go

The world´s got a funny way of turning ´round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don´t sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense

Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn´t seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...

It´s sacrifice
False pretense you´ll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you´ll hurt again

All along you know you thought you got the best of me
{But} you were wrong and I´m laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don´t sweat it - it´s set on false pretense

Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn´t seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...

It´s sacrifice
False pretense you´ll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you´ll hurt again
