"Pretenders" by RCP (Inspired loosely by the Pixies' "Where is My Mind"?)

Live From my Living Room Part II

I really should actually sleep during normal hours, but damn wouldn't you know that years of touring have convinced my body (and perhaps my mind) that I'm a vampire...and so yet another 2 am (well 4 am this time) late night inspiration.


LYRICS:
25 and already you're thinkin' of divorce
Never thought you'd turn out like your mother, of course
I know I gave you a hard time
I just needed to know you'd be there with me in line

Days go by and you're still waiting for me back in your bed
Never thought you'd let another one mess with your head
But I only wanted you to stay
You haven't left, but it still feels like you're miles away

So you ask me: What is love?
What is life?
What's the meaning of forever?
If I can't trust or have faith when you say we'll be together?
What is love?
What is life?
What's the meaning of forever?
When I just give
And you just take
We're the ultimate pretenders

And now you've started to doubt yourself again
Just like when you lost your only friend
And you try hard to fight those tears all away
Don't want to cry today
What is love?

FYI viewers: the opening line is intentional to demonstrate the "homage"
