Pretending

[Verse 1]
Lost your way again
Sunday morning had to fight for common sense
You need a quick fix to keep my voice from shaking
Said you're thinking of me, but I know you're faking

[Chorus]
So go out to L.A
Fuck it, I don't care
I hope she makes you happy
Is that what you want to hear?
A consolation prize
For what you couldn't get right the first time
We both know the ending
But we'll just keep pretending
We'll just keep pretending, yeah
Pretending, yeah

[Verse 2]
Lost your way again
At least you left that candle burning at both ends
Oh, now you need a quick fix to keep my voice from shaking
Said you're thinking of me, but I know you're faking

[Chorus]
So go out to L.A
Fuck it, I don't care
I hope she makes you happy
Is that what you want to hear?
A consolation prize
For what you couldn't get right the first time
We both know the ending
But we'll just keep pretending
We'll just keep pretending, yeah
Pretending, yeah

[Bridge]
So I bite down on the bullet just to stay in your good grace
Yeah, you knew what you were doing
I used to be bad, but you knew my name
On and on for ages 'cause you can't break the curse
Like you swear it's for the better, but you only make it worse

[Outro]
It's never ending, yeah
What are you defending, yeah
We'll just keep pretending, yeah
Pretending, yeah
We'll just keep pretending
