Lyrics

Pretending

[Verse 1] I don't sleep like I used to Counting sheep doesn't bring you back to bed But seven drinks in the green room We don't speak and I forget words you said [Pre-Chorus] Take me back in time Your chest pressed up on mine The stage is ours tonight Maybe it's time we make it right Maybe this time we make it right [Chorus] But maybe we're lonely Pretending it's love Cuz I'm not the old me And our time is up We both know we've thought about Tonight for so long But maybe we're lonely Pretending it's love Pretending [Verse 2] I don't sleep like I used to You're in my sheets but I don't know where you've gone Seven weeks since I knew you We don't speak but we sing the same old song [Pre-Chorus 2] Take me back in time Your chest pressed up on mine And I know that we're sold on a feeling Maybe it's time we make it right Maybe this time we make it right [Chorus] But maybe we're lonely Pretending it's love Cuz I'm not the old me And our time is up We both know we've thought about Tonight for so long But maybe we're lonely Pretending it's love Pretending it's Pretending it's Pretending it's love Pretending it's love Maybe it's time we make it right Maybe this time we make it right
