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.
