[Intro]
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
I'll run to the final, you'll still

[Verse 1]
Run, run, run, run
Try to play pretend like you've got no taste for blood
Hide your sensibility in getting what you want
I see right through it all
I'm not the one, no

[Pre-Chorus]
We are not the same
I won't cater to your taste
Take that smile off your face
You can't hide, you can't escape

[Chorus]
Shake mе back awake
I'll make my own way
I won't break, won't lеt go
You can't tear me down, no
You know I'll never surrender
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
[Breakdown]
(You'll still be the pretender)
Run, run, run, hide and seek from your temper
(You'll still be the pretender)
Run, run, run to another dead ender
To another dead ender!
Are you running from yourself?

[Verse 2]
Run, run, run, run
Your puzzling ways were never made for anyone
Tried to sink your teeth into a fate you didn't want
I see right through it all
I'm not the one, no

[Pre-Chorus]
We are not the same
I won't cater to your taste
Take that smile off your face
You can't hide, you can't escape
(Keep running)

[Chorus]
Shake me back awake
I'll make my own way
I won't break, won't let go
You can't tear me down, no
You know I'll never surrender
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
[Bridge]
Hop on the train of life
If you're not running, you're dying
You look for the truth, but you can't
Find out where this thing is driving

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

[Chorus]
Shake me back awake
I'll make my own way
I won't break, won't let go
You can't tear me down, no
You know I'll never surrender
I'll run to the final, you'll still be the pretender
