How To Pretend

[Verse 1]
You and I both should've known better than that
You can be so slimy
And you know you do it good
You knew this was entertaining

[Refrain]
And you get off to it
Insane and I knew it, but I kept quiet, oh

[Verse 2]
I really could've done better
And you never loved
But you know how to sedate him
And you knew he would love it

[Refrain]
And you both get off to it
Insane and I knew it, but I kept quiet

[Bridge]
Not stopping by the window
Not asking for apologies
I'm not begging for a win, now
In everything I do, you follow me

[Chorus]
Listen, you're in the field of hurt
Listen, where would you build your worth if she's not here?
He's not here
Listen, why do you pretend?
Why do you pretend?
Why do you pretend?

[Verse 3]
Prancing to your next message
You're dancing to mine
You knew I hate it and you get off to it
Insane and I knew it, but I kept quiet
You're laughing at my last message (Oh, woah)
Anticipating yours, ooh, woah
It's so fun, it's just so fun
Having little pawns all game
I can do this shit all day, baby

[Chorus]
Listen, you're in the field of hurt
Listen, where would you build your worth if she's not here?
He's not here
Listen, is the exchange fair? (Ooh, oh)
Listen, you're in the field of hurt
Listen, why would you build your worth if she's not here?
He's not here
Listen, is the exchange fair? (Ooh, oh)

[Outro]
(Why do you pretend? Why do you pretend?)
(Why do you pretend? Why do you pretend?)
Why do you pretend? Would you listen?
