[Sampled Hook]
"I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you..
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do..
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do.."
Says the soul to the mirror, the mirror to the soul//
One is looking fresh while the others looking old//
If you've never seen tears run down a spirits face//
Then you've never caused love to transform into hate//
The mistakes a person makes trying to be the same//
As everyone and everything and still be seen as plain//
Is a truck to the spine, a buckshot to the mind//
A lost part of ya life thats forgotten with the time//
Seen as a poser, a fake and also a phony//
When all you really wanted was to stop being lonely//
So you deal with the pain by picking on the others//
Who are like you but in public, you always wanna smother//
With names that hurt like a kick to the shins//
You walk sick with a grin, not caring they ya twin//
Who like you have to wake to world that is cold//
Feeling scared not of people but of echoes in their soul..(that tell em)

"I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you..
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do..
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do.."
Like the people that you see, you wanna be the best//
But the level to impress is where you getting stressed//
You trying to too hard and its not really you//
And your lies are running rampant like a city in a coup//
You act silly and a fool, and its only getting worse//
Your image is on point but your soul is in a hearse//
I ain't preaching like im god, but I kno u see the devil//
Everytime you close ya eyes, thats why you wanna rebel//
You think by hurting others you making ya name strong?//
But your words ain't making nothing but taking a life wrong//
Suicidal thoughts become actions overnight//
Cause a fraction of your acting forced death over life//
Like a clef on the 9th symphony of zart//
You should have been written as a ballad from the heart//
Instead malice in the dark became your foundation//
The truth behind the bully is that he feels vacant..
[Sampled Hook runs for 16 bars while in the background I say a lil message]
"I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you..
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do..
I'm Pretending and that's all I can do.."
I just wish you didn't have to, and so I wish to have you//
See yourself as strong , so you win against your battle//
Step away from cattles heard to a pasture//
Branded as a lost child never to be mastered//
If I could be your pastor I would hold you in my heart//
Cause I know exactly what its like to hate whats in the dark//
If you get a chance to park, pump the brakes and listen//
To the way your soul is crying out for you to have a mission//
The target is your happiness and the prize is your peace//
See yourself a star and not the lies that you keep//
Wake up out ya sleep and detach from ya nightmare//
Cut off all the hate that can keep you in a tight stare//
It hurts to see you right there kept from your progression//
Put through a hard lesson being swept by your aggression//
This song is my confession I know how you feel//
Its time to stop pretending and become the you thats real...
"I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you..
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
