Avril Lavigne Young Pretender Lyrics

Young Pretender Lyrics

New things are going on every day
The people always come but never
stay
I'm counting on you to make it right
I wanna be with you
tonight.

And you can save me from the darkness
And you can scare away
the monsters in my head
And you can make me feel like I have somebody
And
the pain will go away.

CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a young pretender
Drowning
in my guilt and sorrow
I try to be like the others sometimes
By
pretending to be somebody I'm not.
I'm a young pretender
Wanderin' the
distance
You make my life complete
I want to see you
again.

Everybody thinks I'm one way
As far as they can tell
But
some people start to see
That I'm just not who they want me to
be.

But then you came along
To show me right from wrong
My life
improved so greatly 
My heart bursting out in song..

CHORUS
2x

*in a quieter and more mystic voice*

Can't you see I can't
pretend no more?
What am I even pretending for?
I just can't be the girl
you want me to be
But if you look inside me you will see..

A lone
girl, a confused girl, yep that's me
And if you get to know this real girl
you will see
The fun-loving teen she used to be
But which way to her
heart unlocks the key?

CHORUS repeated until music dies out
