I will be your shoulder to cry on
I will make you laugh if you need
I will play the part if you say so
Yeah I'll be anybody but me
To tell you the truth I'm a mess Iām a fool
You don't know that
And you never will
In my mind, itās instilled not to show that
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
And I know Iām so good at seeming like Iām not on the edge of a knife
I'm the pretender
What can I tell you? Designed to deceive
So tell me who you want me to be
I can wear a million faces
'Cause I don't like the one underneath
Always found it easy to fake it
Yeah I'll be anybody but me
To tell you the truth I'm the fraud in the room and I know that
But you never will
In my mind, itās instilled not to show that
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
And I know Iām so good at seeming like Iām not on the edge of a knife
I feel like everything I do is a lie
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light
I'm the pretender
What can I tell you? Designed to deceive
So tell me who you want me to be
And I'll be
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
But what you don't see,
Is I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
I know I'm so good at seeming like Iām not on the edge of a knife
I feel like everything I do is a lie
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light
I'm the pretender what can I tell you and I'm an imposter but hell is a mender
I'm the pretender
What can I tell you? Designed to deceive
So tell me who you want me to be

I don't know if Lewis reads YouTube comments, but I hope he does and hope he sees all the messages from you beautiful souls. This man's music has pulled me from the ledge on multiple occasions now. If I could just say one thing to this beauty of a man, it would be: Thank you Lewis, your music has brought me so much joy and so much peace in times where I didn't think I'd be able to feel those things again for a long time. You're a blessing to us all, so thank you.

To all the pretenders who wear a smile but carry a heavy heart within,
I want you to know that you are not alone. Many of us go through moments in life where we feel the need to put on a facade, hiding our pain behind a mask of happiness. But remember, your struggles do not define you, and your true worth lies beyond the pretense.
Embrace the fact that you are brave. It takes immense courage to face the world with a smile when you're hurting inside. But it's important to acknowledge your emotions and find healthy ways to express them. Reach out to someone you trust, be it a friend, family member, or a professional. Sharing your burdens can lighten the load and bring relief.
Remember, your happiness matters. It's not selfish to prioritize your well-being. Take time for self-reflection and self-care. Explore activities that bring you genuine joy, whether it's pursuing a hobby, spending time in nature, or engaging in creative outlets. Find what resonates with your soul and invest in it unapologetically.

Most relatable songs I have ever heard. The upbeat melody despite the true meaning is actually genius. Anyone who wears a mask to make others feel comfortable can totally relate to this song. I can't stop listening to this.

This could be a Neurodivergent anthem. So many of us have felt this way at some point and it's hard to unmask and be genuine for fear of disappointing loved ones. I love this song - it's beautiful. Was very confused on the documentary that everyone didn't immediately see that.

This is me...
I make people laugh, smile, feel good. I give advice, hold 'em up when they need someone else's stregnth, and go to great legnths to help them i any way I can.
I am okay with who I am, but I am miserable. No one really sees that. In fact, I go out of my way to make them happy because I cannot make myself happy. It makes me feel better that I can make them smile. Yet no one goes out of their way to repay the favor. Not that I expect it, but when I am feeling sorry for myself I do wonder why...Good thing I am good just being me, huh? I am my own best friend...lol

Anyone who is struggling out there and this touches your heart. Know your not alone and I hope for you that life will get better and the edge of a knife turns into a pool of love

I dont understand how your parents didn't like this song!? Personally it is one of my favorites on the album, and possibly the one I relate to most... The lyrics are incredibly moving, and paired with your voice? Leaves me in tears every time! This entire album has brought me so much comfort, and I just hope you know how truly appreciated you and your music are.

First heard this song in his documentary and boy does this track speak truth.
I pray for grace for all the pretenders to be who they really want to be and also be happy.

Wow. The lyrics really resonated with me. Been living years in survival mode, struggling with my stupid mind that defaults to people pleasing and avoiding conflict at every possible opportunity to the point where I don't even know who I am anymore. I hope one day I can find the light at the end of the tunnel, but it comforts me to know I'm not alone. Thanks Lewis, listening to your music makes life that bit more bearable.

Have heard thousands of songs, have seen hundreds of artists but no one captures our most intricate thoughts better than you.
Lewis Capaldi, only if I could tell you how much you have helped meā¦..

Also Lewis if you ask me who I want you to be, I want you to just be yourself. Be who you really feel at that moment. Annoyed, happy, sad, anxious, whatever.

As someone who is currently experiencing imposter syndrome, I definitely needed to hear this song. Cheers Lewis.
