When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can’t pretend this is the way it will stay I’m just
Trying to bend the truth
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m
Lying my way from you

CHORUS 1

NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
I WANNA BE PUSHED ASIDE SO LET ME GO
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
LET ME TAKE BACK MY LIFE
I'D RATHER BE ALL ALONE
NO TURNING BACK NOW
ANYWHERE ON MY OWN
'CAUSE I CAN SEE
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
THE VERY WORST PART OF YOU IS ME

I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I’m
Trying to bend the truth
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cause
Lying my way from you

CHORUS 2

NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
I WANNA BE PUSHED ASIDE SO LET ME GO
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
LET ME TAKE BACK MY LIFE
I'D RATHER BE ALL ALONE
NO TURNING BACK NOW
ANYWHERE ON MY OWN
'CAUSE I CAN SEE
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
THE VERY WORST PART OF YOU
THE VERY WORST PART OF YOU IS ME

This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this (4X)

CHORUS 3

YOU, NO TURNING BACK NOW
I WANNA BE PUSHED ASIDE SO LET ME GO
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
LET ME TAKE BACK MY LIFE
I'D RATHER BE ALL ALONE
NO TURNING BACK NOW
ANYWHERE ON MY OWN
'CAUSE I CAN SEE
NO, NO TURNING BACK NOW
THE VERY WORST PART OF YOU
THE VERY WORST PART OF YOU IS ME
