PRETEND

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

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

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?

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...

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

Fall again for me

Cross my head

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?

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
