PRETEND

[Verse 1]
You know I wanted to say goodbye to you
But we both know this ain’t the first time
Here we go again, here we go again
I cannot pretend, I cannot pretend
I’m all alone in the club again
I say I won’t, but I always do

Maybe tonight I will phone a friend
But more than likely that I phone you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I put my heart into—
I do what I do, I try my best, try my best
It’s you, the one that split my heart in two
Now I drink to forget

[Chorus]
Thought we were onto something
Thought it was me and you
Wasn’t this what you wanted?
Wish I knew
Thought we were onto something
Now I just feel confused
Young and dumb, and still in love
So tell me what’s the use?

[Verse 2]
Think it’s time I got you out of my system, out of my head
Think it’s time I stop with the wishful thinking and put us to bed
'Cause you rarely see it, rarely notice it—I am not around
With or without love
With or without...

[Bridge]
Wishing you would wake up, wake up
Say something
I can see that you’re resistant
'Cause you only fake love, take love
Where the rest go?
I thought we would go the distance
But you got bored again
Got bored again with me
Torn again, so I part again with you
Maybe we should talk again

[Breakdown]
Fall again for me
Cross my head

[Chorus]
Thought we were onto something
Thought it was me and you
Wasn’t this what you wanted?
Wish I knew
Thought we were onto something
Now I just feel confused
Young and dumb, and still in love
So tell me what’s the use?

[Outro]
Letting go of you
Time that I took a stand
Accepting that I follow to escape from where I land
Think of our exchanges, wish that we were strangers
I pray again and again that the story changes
