First Aid Kit - Master Pretender Lyrics
Never thought that I was weakAlways thought I could get hurt pretty badStill get up on my own two feetI always believed that I was freeThat I had some sense of integrityThat would rise above whatever tried to change meBut honey, now I won't waitFor something to bring me round and smile'Cause that only stock for a whileThen I'm back againOh, I'm a master pretenderI always knew that I was youngBut with a head held high and a shotgunI could fool almost anyoneI never expected to be struckBy the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luckNow we won't changeAnd memories just rearrangeAnd fall into placeSo I'm back againOh, I'm a master pretenderAll the streets of new york citySure look pretty from way up hereAnd I was headed home, just found more aloneThe further I'd goI always thought that you'd be hereBut shit gets *****ed up and people just disappearSo honey, now, don't be madTime has told me it can't be that badAnd if it is, well, big goddamn but I'll stick aroundI'll be your master defenderYeah, I'll stick aroundI'll be your master defender
