lyrics

When the night brings over the shadows
She lurks out of the blue
A mind broken by her poisoned arrows
It's all well understood

You played the novice pretender
who's searching for his love, pretending
you have been taken as a fool
Pretender, you thought it was gonna be cool pretending

With no sense of time she tells a story
that makes you stay for long
you realise she makes it really scary
you already should be gone

You played the novice pretender
who's searching for his love, pretending
you have been taken as a fool
Pretender, you thought it was gonna be cool pretending
until it broke you up in two

You must remain on your own
she said: I know

On your way back across the shadows
you wonder what you've done
and then you throw yourself into the shower
to clean with tears your soul

You played the novice pretender
who's searching for his love, pretending
you got perverted too soon
Pretender, you thought it was gonna be cool pretending
until it broke you up in two

Pretender, who's searching for his love pretending
you have been taken as a fool
Pretender, you thought it was gonna be cool pretending
and it's not funny anymore
