[Verse 1]
Let's pretend we never broke up
Pretend we didn't do it all wrong
Let's act as if we didn't quit
And when it got hard, we held on
Let's pretend you gave me your all
Pretend I didn't need more
And that we're still sittin' in a countryside kitchen
Red dog sleepin' on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess I still got some feelings
Honey, do you feel like dreaming?
[Chorus]
Of that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend
[Verse 2]
Let's pretend you opened up
Pretend I didn't shut down
'Cause I can't pretend that it don't hurt
And that I don't miss you now
[Chorus]
And that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
Ooh, yeah
(Ooh)
[Bridge]
Do you feel like playing along?
Like goin' back before you were gone
[Chorus]
To that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no
It was love
[Outro]
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love

Colbie Caillat released Pretend on Fri Jun 09 2023.
I was reminiscing the good parts of my last relationship and wanting to pretend we were back together so I could re-live & feel those good times we shared again.
I started the idea and wrote the first half of the chorus in my bedroom. Then I called Liz & AJ and said I had another song idea and wanted to get together so we could write it! So we did!
It’s always nice starting a song by myself so I can make sure it’s something I really want to say and that is coming from me and something I’m experiencing. Then getting to collaborate with amazing writers to complete the song makes my heart so happy. And when you record it in the studio it’s one of...
