I’d Rather Pretend Lyrics

Love
Guess you found a way to get through
Got so used to feeling nothing at all
For so long (long)
Now all I want to do is love you
But my head is holding up my heart, my heart

And I’ve seen all the signs
What if they’re all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

Tell me is this real to you?
Cause I can feel my heart again
You’re so tempting but I’m scared so I’d rather pretend
That I don’t love you like I do
Cause I don’t wanna hurt again
I wanna love you but I’m scared so I’d rather pretend
I’d rather pretend
I’d rather pretend, oh oh oh

But if I’m out of lies
Hoping you’ll come back to me when you’re gone
There’s so many ways I’ve seen this going wrong
So many ways I’ve seen this fall apart

Cause I’ve seen all the signs
What if they’re all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

Tell me is this real to you?
Cause I can feel my heart again
You’re so tempting, but I’m scared so I’d rather pretend
That I don’t love you like I do
Cause I don’t wanna hurt again
I wanna love you but I’m scared so I’d rather pretend
(Pretend, pretend)
