Sy-1 - Pretend (feat. Raven Shavon)

I’m not good with pretending
I don’t know why I still do it
You made me in your image
My fear is that it’s been ruined
With my lies
With my trust
With my motives
With my love
If I can keep it real
I just want everything you have for me
You are my identity
No matter where i go you’re never too far
You call me yours so that’s what I’ll be
I know who you really are
I can see through the facade
They say they love you but it ain't true
Cuz who they say they're loving man it ain't you
Looking in the mirror and you're such a mess
You're frustrated with who's looking back
You told yourself this is who you are
Just play along
Till in the end all you had is lost
Just tears that are waiting to fall
Going through the motions, feeling hopeless
Wonder if you end it all would they notice me
Like, I just wanna find myself, i just wanna be myself
Afraid of acceptance, afraid of rejection
Lord can you please send your help i dont wanna pretend
I’m not good with pretending
I don’t know why I still do it
You made me in your image
My fear is that it’s been ruined
With my lies
With my trust
With my motives
With my love
If I can keep it real
I just want everything you have for me
You are my identity
No matter where i go you’re never too far
You call me yours so that’s what I’ll be
Who am I that you are mindful of me
So unworthy still you care about me
More than the birds in the sky
More than the stars spread out in the night
You never let a day go by
Without showing reasons why
I mean the world to you
You breathed life into these lungs that once denied you
You left your throne a long time ago so I can be with you
All for someone who was afraid to truly live for you
I don’t wanna pretend
I’m not good with pretending (yeah)
I don’t know why I still do it (I don't know why I still do it)
You made me in your image
My fear is that it’s been ruined
With my lies (with my lies)
With my trust (with my trust)
With my motives (with my motives)
With my love (with my love)
If I can keep it real (yeah yeah)
I just want everything you have for me (everything you have for me I want it all)
You are my identity (you are who I'm living for)
No matter where i go you’re never too far (you're never too far)
You call me yours (you call me yours)
so that’s what I’ll be
With my lies...
With my trust..
Keep it real..
