Contender Lyrics

Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Contender

Look what you've done
Look what you've done, what do you have now?
Things that never come
I'm laying here in a dead end room, is it time to come down?

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"
But you never were
You never were a contender

I heard your same old tune
Singing city sins like you were the first one
Gave up books for film
Gave up film for time now that you've got none

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"
But you never were
You never were a contender

A contender
You never were a contender
You never were a contender
