More Than I Pretend
“More Than I Pretend” explores the inner world of an introverted person who notices much but often stays silent, leading to misunderstandings and hidden depth. It is energetic and fast-paced, deliberately contrasting with its loud and striking cover.
II talk in maybes, laugh a little quieter
Leave the noise outside the door
They say I’m easy, say I’m harmless
Say I don’t burn, say I don’t bend
if you don’t hear the sound of silence
You will miss the boom
I’m more than I pretend
More than the shape that I show
You think I’m standing still
While I’m already gone
You judge me by what I spend
You don’t know where I have been
I’m more than I pretend
I answer questions with a shrug
Leave the best lines in my head
They call me simple, call me weightless
Say I won’t break, say I won’t stand
If you don’t lean into the quiet
You won’t understand
I’m more than I pretend
More than the shape that I show
You think I’m standing still
While I’m already gone
You judge me by what I spend
You don’t know where I have been
I’m more than I pretend
One day I’ll say it out loud
Or maybe I won’t
I’ve been learning, I’ve been watching
Every time you looked away
I’m more than I pretend
More than the shape that I show
You think I’m standing still
While I’m already gone
You judge me by what I spend
You don’t know where I have been
I’m more than I pretend
More than I pretend
I don’t need you to understand
I’m more than I pretend
More than I pretend
