Let's Not Pretend

[Verse 1]

Been spending quite some time trying to fix the way I am

And chasing all the bad don't make it good

Even when I was a child, I never trusted anyone

And trying to change me now will get you nowhere

I try to think of this and he tries to handle that

And we try to get along but we get nowhere

I try to be polite and he tries to be nice

And it's all a big joke and I hate that

[Chorus]

Let's not pretend that things are easy to do

With a fake smile on your face

You try to see me through

Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true

With a fake smile on your face

You try to play me for a fool

[Verse 2]

He said his hands were tied, but I see him hanging on

To a bunch of white lies and hold back

There was once a time when I almost believed

We'd crawl out how stupid is that?

I try to be smart and pretend that I'm strong

But I'm weak as a child, I'm weak as a child

He says that he is fine and I wish that was a lie

How selfish is that?

[Chorus]

Let's not pretend that things are easy to do

With a fake smile on your face

You try to see me through

Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true

With a fake smile on your face

You try to play me for a fool

Let's not pretend that things are easy to do

With a fake smile on your face

You try to see me through

Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true

With a fake smile on your face

You try to play me for a fool

[Outro]

Let's not pretend that things are easy to do

With a fake smile on your face

You try to see me through

Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true

With a fake smile on your face

You try to play me for a fool
