[Verse 1] Used to play along, smile through the small talk Nod at every clown, listen to the slick talk Now I see the seams where the fabric came apart You can keep the costume, Iāll protect my heart Iāve been through the scenes, watched the credits, know the plot People selling image like a product on the spot I donāt need your filters, I donāt need your shine If the truth aināt in it, then itās not worth my time [Chorus] Iām too old for pretension Too grown for the fake attention (yeah) Too tired for the liarās dimension Say less, live real, thatās the pension Iām too old for pretension Too sharp for the plastic tension If your words donāt match your reflection Step back, Iām guarding my section (hey!) [Verse 2] Used to chase cool, wasnāt even my size Wore a borrowed mask, couldnāt look in my eyes Now itās plain shirt, clear mind, real talk Circle getting smaller every time I take a walk You brag on the gram, but you broke in your soul Iāve been rich in peace since I gave up that role You can keep the show, you can keep the stage Iām investing in joy, not impressed by the rage [Chorus] Iām too old for pretension Too grown for the fake attention (uh) Too tired for the liarās dimension Say less, live real, thatās the pension Iām too old for pretension Too sharp for the plastic tension (too sharp) If your words donāt match your reflection Step back, Iām guarding my section (step back)
