Another victim of my learning to write on computers.  Spontanious spur of the moment composition (for the most part). Yes, I'm aware that it resembles "Clown". Think of it as "Clown part II" if you must. I meant to put "trying" instead of "tying", in case you were wondering *wink*

Pretense
I don�t pretend to be a sweetheart
I don�t pretend to be an angel in disguise
Truly don�t feel a need to
Imitate perfection
I am just not interested in lies

I don�t pretend that I am someone
I just deal with what I�m thrown
I gather I�m not there yet
Figured that out on my own
Trying up the loose ends
Would take a lot out of my mind
Things go so much faster when they�re sewn.

(chorus I)
Went from here to there
And I couldn�t help but notice
I may not be who you think I am
Looked around the room
And I couldn�t but make guess work
I might not be the saint they think I am.


I don�t pretend to like these messes
I didn�t plan it all out before-hand
I just kind of ride the current
And sometimes
I confuse all the cants and cans.

(chorus II)
Went from there to here
And I couldn�t help but notice
Can�t keep on pretending for you, no I can�t
Looking at the floor
Just have to spit it out and tell you
I might not be the lady you all think I am.

(bridge I)
What are you seeing when you fix your gaze on me?
Sweetie normal formal girly child?
What are you seeing when you fix your eyes on me?
Girly playing dress-up like a child?

(bridge II)
Exaggerations. Those I thrive on.
Contrasting colors built from all I am
A little tale of how I went from
Point A to point Be
The award for best actress in a drama
Goes to me

(repeat choruses I&II)
