Lyrics

You pre tend you’re high,

pre tend you’re bored,

pre tend you’re an y thing

just to be a dored.

And what you need

is what you get.

Don’t be lieve in fear.

Don’t be lieve in faith.

Don’t be lieve in an y thing

that you can’t break.

You stu pid girl.

You stu pid girl.

(F7)All you had you wast ed.

All you had you wast ed.

What dragged you on

can drive you mad.

A (F5)mil lion lies to sell your self

is all you ev er had.

Don’t be lieve in love.

Don’t be lieve in hate.

Don’t be lieve in an y thing

that you can’t waste.

You stu pid girl.

You stu pid girl.

(F7)Can’t be lieve you fake it.

Can’t be lieve you fake it.

What dragged you on

can drive you mad.

A (F5)mil lion lies to sell your self

is all you ev er had.

You stu pid girl.

You stu pid girl.

(F7)All you had you wast ed.

All you had you wast ed.

You stu pid girl.

You stu pid girl.

(F7)Can’t be lieve you fake it.

Can’t be lieve you fake it.

You (Bb7)stu pid (F)girl.
