The Pretenders

Verse 1:
Life is a game that we all play
Sometimes just trying to get through the day
We slip into the abyss of commonplace
Leaving behind our chance to be great

Chorus:
We are the Pretenders…
Imagine the surprise
When the wool’s pulled off our eyes
There’s no denying…..
The mistakes we all have made
Will catch up to us someday

Verse 2:
Yesterday is gone and won’t be back again
But tomorrow is upon us, another chance to win
This game of our choices and mistakes
Fear can kill, but hope keeps us awake

Chorus:
We are the Pretenders…
Imagine the surprise
When the wool’s pulled off our eyes
There’s no denying…..
The mistakes we all have made
Will catch up to us someday

Bridge:
We have all played the part
Of the one that’s under control
All the while we’re the ones
Digging ourselves a deeper hole

But when we open our eyes
We can see the light
That will help us realize
What it means to be alive

Chorus:
We are the Pretenders…
Imagine the surprise
When the wool’s pulled off our eyes
There’s no denying…..
The mistakes we all have made
Will catch up to us someday
