Pretender’s Game
Girard
Pretender’s Game
Verse 1:
You pull the strings, I’m just a puppet in your show,
You make the rules, and I don’t even know.
You twist my words to fit your frame,
And I’m left playing in your twisted game.
You smile and lie, and I fall for it every time,
Building a story where I’m the one who’s blind.
You play the victim, but it’s all a mask,
And I’m left here just trying to ask.
Pre-Chorus:
You control the scene, you set the stage,
Feeding me lines, locking me in a cage.
You manipulate every little move,
Turning the truth to something you can prove.
Chorus:
It’s a pretender’s game, where I’m just a pawn,
Playing your rules, but I don’t belong.
You twist my heart, you play my mind,
Making me question what I’ll never find.
It’s a pretender’s game, a truth that’s fake,
Telling me lies that I can’t forsake.
I’m lost in your narrative, trapped in your lies,
But I’ll break free and see through your disguise.
Verse 2:
You pull at my heartstrings with a practiced hand,
Building your kingdom on shifting sand.
You’re the storyteller, I’m the fool who believes,
Falling for your words, falling to my knees.
You make me doubt what’s real and true,
All just to bend me to you.
You paint me as the villain in your tale,
But your lies will crumble, they’re bound to fail.
Pre-Chorus:
You control the scene, you set the stage,
Feeding me lines, locking me in a cage.
You manipulate every little move,
Turning the truth to something you can prove.
Chorus:
It’s a pretender’s game, where I’m just a pawn,
Playing your rules, but I don’t belong.
You twist my heart, you play my mind,
Making me question what I’ll never find.
It’s a pretender’s game, a truth that’s fake,
Telling me lies that I can’t forsake.
I’m lost in your narrative, trapped in your lies,
But I’ll break free and see through your disguise.
Bridge:
I won’t play your game anymore,
I won’t let you settle the score.
Your manipulation won’t hold me down,
I’ll tear your lies right off the ground.
The story’s over, the curtain falls,
No more pretending, no more walls.
I see through your mask, I see through your play,
I’m done with your games, I’m walking away.
Chorus:
It’s a pretender’s game, where I’m just a pawn,
Playing your rules, but I don’t belong.
You twist my heart, you play my mind,
Making me question what I’ll never find.
It’s a pretender’s game, a truth that’s fake,
Telling me lies that I can’t forsake.
I’m lost in your narrative, trapped in your lies,
But I’ll break free and see through your disguise.
Outro:
I’m not your pawn, I’m not your fool,
I won’t be part of your twisted rule.
Your pretender’s game has lost its charm,
I’m breaking free, I’m free from harm.
Fade out.
This song speaks to the manipulation of emotions and how someone can twist the narrative to control the truth
