[Verse 1]
Denim and salty hair
Walked in the room like you just don't care
You came out of nowhere
God, it was unfair
Gone in a flash like a blinking eye
I think of the past, and I don't know why

[PreChorus 1]
Baby, you're nowhere
But I still try to go there

[Chorus 1]
I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever
But, honestly
I'll never be
A great pretender

[Verse 2]
And now I know what it's like in Hell
It's seeing you out with someone else
Knowing you're happy
Knowing you have me
[PreChorus 2]
Oh, wrapped around your finger like a wedding ring
I never got to give you
But it's fine
You only live forever in my mind

[Chorus 2]
I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever
But, honestly
I'll never be
A great pretender

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh (I'll never be, I'll never be—)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 3]
I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever
But, honestly
Honestly
I wish that we could run away together
Instead, I'm running out of ways to let you go
I'm scared I'll have to fake a smile forever
But, honestly
I'll never be
A great pretender
