You talk in sugar, but I taste the lie
Lip-gloss dreams under neon lights
You said I'm trouble, yeah, that's right
At least I'm having fun tonight

You think I'm falling, baby, guess again
I make heartbreak look like a trend

I'm your sweet pretender
Playing cool, but I remember
You can chase, but never catch my flame
I change the rules inside your game
Never catch my flame, never catch my flame

I'm champagne laughs and late-night calls
Dancing reckless through your walls
You blink, I'm gone, a magic trick
I'm not your cure, I'm your favorite risk

You think you know me, baby, take your shot
But I'm the spark that you forgot

I'm your sweet pretender
Playing cool, but I remember
You can chase, but never catch my flame
I change the rules inside your game
Never catch my flame, never catch my flame

Boy, I turn goodbye into glitter
Every loss just makes me shimmer
Makes me shimmer, shimmer

I'm your sweet pretender
You'll miss me more than ever
I'm the spark you'll never tame
Just a name you'll sing in vain
Sweet pretender sing in vain
