Lyrics

Always the Pretenders

Maybe we forced the deal delivered some kind of blow
Maybe we broke the seal, cracks began to show
Maybe we crossed the line, got everything off the ground
Maybe we lit the fuse, a habit hard to lose

All I can remember, all I can recall is you
Telling me there's been an accident
Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do
Everyday I miss your innocence

Maybe we ran the lights, somehow we caused the scene
Maybe we learn to fight, as part of a routine
Maybe we jumped the wall, suddenly tipped the scale
Maybe we tried too hard, so afraid to fail

All I can remember, all I can recall is you
Telling me there's been an accident
Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do
Everyday I miss you innocence

Something's lost for what its worth
You and me this is our church
There is still some love 'round here

All I can remember, all I can recall is you
Telling me there's been an accident
Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do
Everyday I miss your innocence
