mr. Pretentious Songtext
von Estrels

I used to think you were smart
so much more than I could ever grasp
I used to think you were so out of reach
and I could never in a lifetime
even dream to be enough

I used to think you were a mystery to solve
I used to think I′d give you everything I've got
if you only let me in
and then you finally let me in, for just a moment
oh, I caught me in the wrong

you made my world crumble to pieces
realized you were never what I needed
never thought you′d be so wicked
more than I'd believe if someone ever told me so


so self absorbed
act like you're so far above
and you might believe it
but I have seen it
you′re just a lonely boy
in a lonely world
who just keeps fucking up his shots
and any chance he gets at love

Cause you′re just a lonely boy
You're just a stupid, lonely boy

I used to think you were kind (hah, sure)
someone I should even be looking up to
who′d never betray my trust
never go around making up facts
or talking shit behind my back

you sell yourself like you're a mystery to solve
I thought of you as the nicest guy in the whole world
wishing you would let me in
and then I peeked behind the curtain for a split second
and it finally made it clear

you watched my world crumble to pieces
you poured gasoline on the fire instead of putting out
I never thought you′d be so wicked
more than I'd foreseen it
even though you told me so


so self absorbed
act like you′re so far above
and you might believe it
but I have seen it
you're just a lonely boy
in a lonely world
who just keeps lying to himself
and everyone he's ever crossed, you′re so

fucking pretentious
hide behind your dad′s protection
"I'll beg to differ"
you won′t admit it
you're just a lonely boy in a nice car
who would rather take ten shots than shoot one
breaking his own heart

Cause you′re just a lonely boy
You're just a stupid lonely boy
you know, you′re just a fucking boy
just a lonely boy
