lyrics

Great Pretender

When did our foundation get so shaky?
China falling to the floor and breaking at my feet
this fortress used to be my comfort
it turned into a dusty dream of some sort

What is left to defend
when all we do is pretend?
I was blinded by your light
I thought we were doing alright

How can something so strong turn so tender?
Now I know you were a great pretender
How could something so strong turn so tender?
Now I know you were a great pretender

I should have seen the walls were crumbling
you pulled the rug and now I’m tumbling down the hill
Unshielded and unarmed I stood there
but things like that don’t come from outta nowhere

Now all you say is 'give me time'
but what is there to decide?
I was blinded by your light
thought we were doing alright

How can something so strong turn so tender?
Now I know you were a great pretender
How could something so strong turn so tender?
Now I know you were a great pretender
