I’d Rather Pretend

[Verse 1]
Love
Guess you found a way to get through
Got so used to feeling nothing at all
For so long (long)
Now all I wanna do is love you
But my head is holding up my heart, my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've seen all the signs
What if they're all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

[Chorus]
Tell me, is this real to you?
'Cause I can feel my heart again
You're so tempting but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend
That I don't love you like I do
'Cause I don't wanna hurt again
I wanna love you but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend
I'd rather pretend
I'd rather pretend, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
What if I'm at a loss
Hoping you'll come back to me when you're gone?
There's so many ways I've seen this going wrong
So many ways I've seen this fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've seen all the signs
What if they're all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

[Chorus]
Tell me, is this real to you?
'Cause I can feel my heart again
You're so tempting, but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend
That I don't love you like I do
'Cause I don't wanna hurt again
I wanna love you but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend
(Pretend, pretend, oh)
