And you were just a pretender I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember Take me back to September Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender And I've been doing well sober Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over I need you now forever girl need you so much closer It's true I knew that I was wrong Thought you'd try to play along Lay my heart out in the song I know you're free from me for good Pretend I know how to belong When I've been broken all along I told you once that I was strong I'm on my knees misunderstood And you were just a pretender I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember Take me back to September Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender And I've been doing well sober Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over I need you now forever girl need you so much closer It's true you made me famous never thought that I could make it The pain I felt was real you know that I could never fake it All I knew was wake up numb my brain and just stay faded I guess that I'm a better man depression's overrated But girl -please don't leave me stay and walk by my side Without your pretty life I know I'd fall back in mine Got so much more to give since I've been living full time You exorcised my demons and I'm lucky you're mine And you were just a pretender I dreamed about your love but it's the pain I remember Take me back to September Thought I won you over but I'm just the contender And I've been doing well sober Learning how to breathe and how to keep my composure I'll swear I'll never f*ck you over I need you now forever girl need you so much closer
