[Verse 1]
I got it right
We barely made it
Under the light
I see you when you
Know that it's time
It's time to let me go

[Verse 2]
Take my mind apart
And lead me where you
Know that it's dark
How deep does it go?
Holding me back
Oh darling, let me go

[Pre-Chorus]
Free from the start
It was all I could find
But the voice in your heart
Was it bad, bad do you know?

[Chorus]
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Beat it out
Beat it out

[Verse 3]
Things got so pretty
Things got so hard
I think I lost control
And all the dreaming that came to me
Like a rolling storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Free from the start
It was all I could find
The voice in your heart
Was it bad, bad through you know?

[Chorus]
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah

[Bridge]
Out upon the banks
You were looking for luck
Thinking through what you had done
There's a taste on your tongue
That you can't get down
But you can't let yourself get burnt
[Outro]
(I couldn't find)
You are what you pretend to be
(Into the night)
Oh yeah
(I couldn't find)
You are what you pretend to be
(Could you be right)
Oh yeah
(I couldn't find)
You are what you pretend to be
(Into the night)
You are what you pretend to be
Oh yeah
(Into the fire)
You are what you pretend to be
(Into the light)
You are what you pretend to be
