Pretending

Face-to-face and heart-to-heart
We're so close, yet so far apart
I close my eyes I look away
That's just because I'm not okay

But I hold on, I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling?
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending?
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah-lways
A-ah-lways be pretending?

How long do I fantasize?
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
And we can choose the ones we love

But I hold on I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling?
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls

Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah-lways
A-ah-lways be

Keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like no one's letting go
And it's such a shame
'Cause if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know?

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath it
Tear down all the walls (Tear down all the walls)
Will we ever have a happy ending?
Or will we forever only be pretending? (Only be pretending)

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah-lways
A-ah-lways be
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah-lways
A-ah-lways be
(Pretending, pretending)
Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah-lways
A-ah-lways be pretending?
