False Pretence is the debut single by U.K. Alt-Rock band Fierce Grace. It’s about singer Lexy Davis’s experiences with a friend who turned out to be a narcissist. Lexy says “Its about growing up and realising that not everyone you think is your friend, is actually your friend. People easily stab you in the back and hurt you.”
Lyrics:
You took my worth and made it worthless You took my hope and made it hopeless All because you couldn’t take it To see me make it
You took my joy and made it joyless You took my heart and made it heartless All because you couldn’t shake it So let me take it
I fell for the false pretence That you could actually be my friend That’s when I knew this had to end I never knew you could be, so damn evil Once I learned it I walked away
I told you my dreams and you made them yours I told you my plans and you raced me to them You always had to be the best
Now here I am writing a song about you And everything you put me through Years of absolute hell But I learnt to shake it Now it’s my time to make it
That you could actually be my friend That’s when I knew this had to end I never knew you could be, so damn evil Once I learned it I walked away
I fell for the false pretence That you could actually be my friend That’s when I knew this had to end I never knew you could be, so damn evil Once I learned it I walked away ©️Fierce Grace Band
