Lyrics

Pretending

I can try and help you see the light once more
Tired again of making amends
Is this what counting's for?

I'll almost end it
I'll take it on the chin
I'll redirect what's coming in
Like, why's it always been a fight?
I'm so sick of pretending
This just isn't happening

Maybe in another nine months you'll have learned
Whenever you show up, everything blows up
Another bridge is burned

I'll almost beat it
I'll make sure I keep score
You'll almost read it right this time
And act as if the fault is mine
But I'm not gonna grovel now
It's your turn to do the time

I don't see how
You don't notice now
It's all wrong
You're all gone
You're on your own now (now)

You'll almost change it
Don't let me stop you now
I wish you'd prove me wrong somehow
By changing everybody's minds
You're so good at pretending
This just isn't happening
