Lyrics

Pretend

I broke both our hearts
And I meant what I said
But before we part
Could I get in your bed
You brought out a better me
Without you who will I be
'Cause I ain't stuck but I ain't free
Can we just pretend
That I didn't make a mess of us?
In my defence
I was holding on to what's left of us
No, I shouldn't stay tonight
But I need to know you'll be alright
Can we just pretend
And spend one more night, now we know it's the end?
When we said goodbye
And mourned a younger us
I heard the angels cry
As I got on my bus
Feel you in a steady breeze
Look for you in cherry trees
I'm still your girl in dungarees
Can we just pretend
That I didn't make a mess of us?
In my defence
I was holding on to what's left of us
No, I shouldn't stay tonight
But I need to know you'll be alright
Can we just pretend
And spend one more night, now we know it's the end?
One more night, now we know
Can we just pretend
That I didn't make a mess of us?
In my defence
I was holding on to what's left of us
No, I shouldn't stay tonight
But I need to know you'll be alright
Can we just pretend
And spend one more night, now we know it's the end?
