Lyrics

Pretend

Well I know you always tell me the truth
Well I know you just want to protect me
But I'm jaded, I need to see proof
Cuz I feel like the world's out to get me

Oooh oh....oh

If there was a prize for being too hard
Then maybe I wouldn't end up crying

So I do what I do
What I always do
I smile and I just turn away

Chorus:
I pretend it's OK
And I push you away
All so I can pretend

With your arms open wide
I could crawl right inside
But instead I choose to pretend
Again

Well I'm trying to learn how to trust
Yea I'm trying to learn how to just breathe
This world, it's unfair, it's unjust
But I know that your patience will catch me

Oh oooh....oh

I'm so used to being alone
Kinda hard to just pick up the phone

So I do what I do
What I always do
I smile and I just turn away

Chorus

But instead I choose to pretend
Again
