Pretend

I know that you know the feeling

I know that we're giving in

I know that you know the feeling

I woke up with my head in the clouds

Asleep with you on my mind

I guess I need to figure this out

Before I see you tonight

I'll hide my favorite scars with the shirt and the tie

You'll let your hair fall down while you're saving my life

I'll leave my bourbon nerves for your body of wine

If I come over again

We can pretend

We're wanting different things and then

We can pretend

We'll never end up here, end up here again

You found out I was broken at heart

And you read me Audre Lorde

When each word from your lips made a mark

I didn't care anymore

I play my favorite songs when I'm driving you home

You let your hair fall down when you know we're alone

It's such a careful dance when your feet have been cold

The only way to defend

We can pretend

We're wanting different things and then

We can pretend

We'll never end up here, end up here again

Oh we can pretend all day but we know that it's true

And then pretend to see from the different view

I've got a whole routine I've been playing for you

Over and over again

We can pretend

We can pretend

I know that you know the feeling

I know that we're giving in

I know that you know the feeling

I know that we're giving in

I know that you know the feeling

I know that we're giving in

I know that you know the feeling

We can pretend
