Just Pretend

[Chorus]
It's hard to think about the way things were before
Can't imagine that our paths will ever cross again
The echoes in my head, I can't ignore
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend

[Verse]
I never met you, a character from a bad dream
Was told that life is simple, why is it not for me?
I always end up defeated, cheated, but I bеlieve
You gotta go through the ringеr, then you'll achieve
I done walked a thousand miles, made a thousand dials
Heard the same stupid ass lies come out of mouths
Had people I thought I loved start dragging me down
I'm sorry if they don't notice, I hope they figure out
That karma will come around to bite you, so stay aware
It's something to not know, but bad if you don't care
See, I'm searching for serenity, searching for remedies
Tryin' to stop all the bad before it gets to me

[Chorus]
It's hard to think about the way things were before
Can't imagine that our paths will ever cross again
The echoes in my head I can't ignore
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend
Said I've been doing better, I'll just pretend

[Bridge]
Closing my eyes
I go back in time
I just realized
That I couldn't find you
Closing my eyes (Closing my eyes)
I go back in time (I go back in time)
I just realized (I just realized)
That I couldn't find you

[Chorus]
It's hard to think about the way things were before (Were before)
Can't imagine that our paths will ever cross again (Ohh, no)
The echoes in my head I can't ignore (I can't ignore it)
I've been doing better I'll just pretend (All day, yeah)
I've been doing better I'll just pretend (I'll just pretend, yeah)
I've been doing better I'll just pretend

[Outro]
It's hard to think about the way things were before
Can't imagine that our paths will ever cross again
The echoes in my head I can't ignore
I've been doing better, I'll just pretend
