I’d Rather Pretend

[Verse 1: Bryant Barnes & d4vd]

Love

Guess you found a way to get through

Got so used to feeling nothing at all, for so long

No, now all I wanna do is love you

But my head is holding up my heart, my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Bryant Barnes & d4vd]

And I've seen all the signs (I've seen all the signs)

What if they're all lies? (What if they're all lies?)

Will it even matter what you say? (Say)

Can you make these feelings go away?

[Chorus: Bryant Barnes, Bryant Barnes & d4vd]

Tell me, is this real to you?

'Cause I can feel my heart again

You're so tempting, but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do

'Cause I don't wanna hurt again

I wanna love you, but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend, oh

[Verse 2: d4vd]

You can tell me anything, you can tell me

Still, I'd give you everything

Why'd you let me put you on a pedestal? I put you high on top (High)

I gave it all for you to fall, let me be honest, I know

I know we both let go

You fake your love, I still want more

It doesn't even matter what I say

I'll never make these feelings go away

[Chorus: Bryant Barnes & d4vd, d4vd]

Tell me, is this real to you?

'Cause I can feel my heart again

You're so tempting, but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do

'Cause I don't wanna hurt again

I wanna love you, but I'm scared so I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend, oh

[Outro: d4vd]

(Scared so, I'd rather pretend)

(I'd rather pretend)

(I'd rather pretend oh)
