I'd be lying if I said I never did
And know that it was only because I felt unwanted
And perhaps that’s what I told myself
: It’s not a stretch for a liar
To be lying to himself

I'd be lying if I said I was happy with me,
Because me was never a trophy,
Because truthfully I was drowning in a sea
Of all the things I knew I could never be
So I lied to myself

I was always great at playing pretend.

I thought of myself as a master who weaved
masterworks out of all the best examples of beauty that
surrounded me.

I didn’t realize that all these scraps I gathered from
somewhere else couldn’t and wouldn’t mend.

I was playing pretend.
