“Pretender!”

I gave . . .
My loving heart.
I sacrificed . . .
My written art.
Some things . . .
Just never end,
While others . . .
Simply play pretend.
Pretender . . .
Some things . . .
Happen well before,
While others . . .
Never happened before
Pretender . . .
Some things . . .
Are worthwhile,
While others . . .
Aren’t worthwhile
Pretender . . .
Everything . . .
That you did,
Everything . . .
That you said,
Pretender . . .

(Spoken sadly with hurt upon face shaking your head and pointing to the exits) Pretender . . . use the door . . .

Why did you . . . Lie to me?
Why did you . . . Turn on me?
(Whisper) Pretender . . .
Why did you . . . Say those things?
Why did you . . . Lie and run?
(Whisper) Pretender . . .

I gave . . .
My loving heart.
I sacrificed . . .
My written art.
Some things . . .
Happen in three,
While others . . .
Set you free
Pretender . . .
Some things . . .
Bend your will,
While others . . .
Fortify your will
Pretender . . .
Some things . . .
You throw away,
While others . . .
You cherish anyway
Pretender . . .
Everything . . .
That you did,
Everything . . .
That you said,
Pretender . . .

(Spoken sadly with hurt upon face shaking your head and pointing to the exits) Pretender . . . use the door!

Why did you . . . Lie to me?
Why did you . . . Turn on me?
(Whisper) Pretender . . .
Why did you . . . Say those things?
Why did you . . . Lie and run?
(Whisper) Pretender . . .

(Sing with anger and hurt) “Welcome to show business!”
