[Verse 1 : Mike Shinoda]
When I pretend everything is what i want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When i pretend, i can forget about the criminal i am
Stealin' second after second just 'cause i can, but

[Pre-Chorus : Mike Shinoda & 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘰𝘯]
I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay
I'm just 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩
I can't pretend i'm who you want me to be
So i'm 𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮

[Verse 2 : Mike Shinoda]
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who i oughta be
Remember listenin' to all of that and this again
So i pretended up a person who was fittin' in
[Pre-Chorus : Mike Shinoda & 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘰𝘯]
And now, you think this person really is me
And i'm 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩
But the more i push, the more i'm pullin' away
'Cause i'm 𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮

[Bridge : Mike Shinoda & 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘰𝘯]
This isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said would have you runnin' from me
Like this, this isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said would have you runnin' from me
Like this (𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴), this isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said would have you runnin' from me
Like this (𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴), this isn't what i wanted to be
I never thought that what i said would have you runnin' from me
Like this
