Pretend

[Verse 1]

Did you pick up the phone just to put it back down

Pretend you're not home, pretend you're in town

You saw the missed call, but the name put you off

Pretend you're asleep, pretend you're passed out

[Pre-Chorus]

I know you never wanna hear it

I know you never wanna hear the sound

Of me coming round again

[Chorus]

But I've taken the stick

You make me feel like shit

It's got my head's spinning round again

It's like loving a stone

Before passion erodes

I hate hanging out prеtending we're

[Verse 2]

Happy whеn we wake up in the morning

Is it worth the pick-me-up to keep on falling

I'm fed up with pretending you're not boring

The messages you send don't ever make me feel important

It's a warning you require reassuring

And I know that's why you're calling

And it's appalling

[Chorus]

But I've taken the stick

You make me feel like shit

It's got my head's spinning round again

It's like loving a stone

Before passion erodes

I hate hanging out pretending we're

More than just friends

That it's more than just sex

That we're more than just friends

That it's more than just sex

[Chorus]

But I've taken the stick

You make me feel like shit

It's got my head's spinning round again

It's like loving a stone

Before passion erodes

I hate hanging out pretending we're

Happy or that we're trying our best

And though you've asked for respect

You've been ignoring my texts

[Verse 3]

Like a book with no pages left

I've read the end but you persistently check

And though we're fucking, I've assumed that you've guessed

We're no more than just friends

[Verse 4]

You leave the shirt in my bed

I know you do it just to screw with my head

You never wanted much more than just sex

So stop pretending that we’re more than just friends
