Pretender, heartbreaker
Names you gave me so that you'd remember
Can't admit it, but I hate this
That every candle we owned burns at both ends
I got you high just to bring you down
Addicted to me just to watch you drown
Cause if you took your shot
You would never stop pounding
If you add the raindrops
You'd never stop counting
I know you can't forget
I never wanted you to
But if I could I'd wish
You'd pretend too
Must I beg you when you feel like dying
To open up your one eye wider when you're driving
And if you got home to find me smiling
I'd hope you know it's just because
I got you high just to bring you down
Addicted to me just to watch you drown
Cause if you took your shot
You would never stop pounding
If you add the raindrops
You'd never stop counting
I know you can't forget
I never wanted you to
But if I could I'd wish
You would pretend
That all of the lies aren't true
That violence ain't black and blue
That not a thing has changed
Mary
Mary
Mary
Cause if you took your shot
You would never stop pounding
If you add the raindrops
You'd never stop counting
I know you can't forget (forget)
I never wanted you to (never wanted you to)
But if I could I'd wish
You'd pretend too
Pretender, heartbreaker
Names you gave me so that you'd remember
