Pretender

Pretender,
You.. Pretended.. to love me..
You, placed no one above me,
But like a joke,
You gave me the okie doke,
Cut the rope, and left me hangin,
Hangin with my feet danglin..
No where to run..

Pretender,
you pretended..
I was the one and only contender.
But you played me hard,
Played me like a game of cards.
See, you played me like a Jack
.. against the Ace of Spades,
No way I could win..
You even told me to keep quiet,
In fact, I had to whisper..
I told you:
Don't play me, play lotto.
And you took the car outta park and
Placed into auto..
You drove over my heart..

Pretender,
you pretended to slow down,
I thought you were comin back
for a second round..
But you drove off into the distance,
And in that instance..
I realized it was all a dream..
Realized the pretender was me.
I pretended I was the one,
with whom you wanted to be..
It was me..

I.. Pretended.. You Loved Me..
I, placed no one above thee..
But still, like a joke..
You gave me the okie doke.
Cut the rope and left me hangin,
Hangin with my feet danglin..
No where to run..

Pretender,
Is this real or make believe?
'Cause see,
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And you just did the laundry.
You washed me up
and hung me out to dry.
And I cant lie..
Sometimes the hurt
is better than the real deal.
See I don't whether I'm comin or goin,
Whether I'm leavin or stayin.
The pretender keeps playin,
With my heart..

Pretender,
You.. Pretended.. to love me..
You, placed no one above me..
And yes, like a joke..
You gave me the okie doke..
Cut the rope, and left me hangin,
Hangin with my feet danglin..
No where to run.

Pretender...

Stop playin..
