What lies behind Your pretty house with the white picket fence And all the Barbies that you call your friends?
Is your life a lie? Nothing’s as good as it seems And you’re not the girl of their dreams
Oh, and maybe your life is all flowers Maybe I’m insecure Maybe you’re good at taking pictures Maybe you’re a pretender, oh
Pretender, I’m pointing my finger at you Pretender, if only they knew what I knew Yeah, if only they knew what I knew
I’m happy with me Think that’s supposed to be enough So why am I sulking, calling your bluff?
Maybe your life is all flowers Maybe I’m insecure And maybe you’re good at taking pictures You’re a pretender
Pretender, I’m pointing my finger at you Pretender, if only they knew what I knew Yeah, if only they knew what I knew
Pretender, I guess you’re really not so bad Maybe you pretend But you look like you got the life I wish I had I created you To be plastic and deadly I created you To hide my own envy To hide my own envy, yeah
Pretender, I wish I knew what you knew Pretender, if only I was like you Maybe I’m a pretender like you
