Let’s Not Pretend

[Verse 1]
Been spending quite some time trying to fix the way I am
And chasing all the bad don't make it good
Even when I was a child, I never trusted anyone
And trying to change me now will get you nowhere
I try to think of this and he tries to handle that
And we try to get along but we get nowhere
I try to be polite and he tries to be nice
And it's all a big joke and I hate that

[Chorus]
Let's not pretend that things are easy to do
With a fake smile on your face
You try to see me through
Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true
With a fake smile on your face
You try to play me for a fool

[Verse 2]
He said his hands were tied, but I see him hanging on
To a bunch of white lies and hold back
There was once a time when I almost believed
We'd crawl out how stupid is that?
I try to be smart and pretend that I'm strong
But I'm weak as a child, I'm weak as a child
He says that he is fine and I wish that was a lie
How selfish is that?

[Chorus]
Let's not pretend that things are easy to do
With a fake smile on your face
You try to see me through
Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true
With a fake smile on your face
You try to play me for a fool
Let's not pretend that things are easy to do
With a fake smile on your face
You try to see me through
Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true
With a fake smile on your face
You try to play me for a fool

[Outro]
Let's not pretend that things are easy to do
With a fake smile on your face
You try to see me through
Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true
With a fake smile on your face
You try to play me for a fool
