The secrets that you keep are ever ready
The page is out of print, we are not permanent
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You know they all pretend
What if I say I will never surrender?
Same old story
They need you buried deep
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say that I will never surrender?
It's never ending, never ending
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrorin' your stare
You're the pretender
You're the pretender
Send in your skeletons
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
You're the pretender
In time or so I'm told
Songwriters: David Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Christopher Shiflett
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees
What if I say I will never surrender?
Are you ready?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
Sing as their bones go marching in again
Spinning infinity
You're the pretender
Yeah, who are you?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
Done pleading ignorance
I'm finished making sense
Keep you in the dark
So who are you? Yeah, who are you?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say you're not like the others?
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
(Keep you in the dark)
I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
That whole defense
Same old story
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not like the others?
So who are you? Yeah, who are you?
We're temporary, temporary
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
You're the pretender
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
What if I say I'm not like the others?
And so it all began
Keep you in the dark
You're the pretender
Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Boy, the wheel is spinning me
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
