Lyrics

pretending

Let's hit downtown, let's fuck around
Let's get fucked up and let me take you out
Let's fall in love and have a falling out
You can keep the keys and fuckin' keep the house
I don't wanna stay stuck on pretending
Can't get you out my head when you're in my mentions
Oh, oh, you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're next to me
Feel like I'm buried deep
Hey, you take me in and breathe me out
Caught doin' shit we not allowed
Although your mind is filled with doubt
I know you'll somehow come around
But I know you won't
You ain't say one word on the whole ride home
Told me you spent the night alone
I know your ex man got you gone
So, tell me what you need from me
Been begging on my knees
I hate it when you leave
Know you make me complete (ooh-woah)
She likes white wine and
Wasting my time and
I really liked it when
You said I'm timeless
I feel like I'm dying
I can't lift my eyelids, I-
I don't wanna stay stuck on pretending
Can't get you out my head when you're in my mentions
Oh, oh, you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're next to me
Feel like I'm buried deep
