If you really gotta know, I'm not doing so good
Turned out to hurt more than I thought it would
'Cause I just can't handle losing you again
But the last thing I want is just to be your friend
Been through this same thing time and time again
Let's pretend
Let's pretend everything's fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let's pretend we're fine
To go out in style and come home in denial
Let's pretend we're fine
If you really gotta know I'm not doing so good
Hurt me way more than I thought it could
'Cause I just can't handle losing you again
But the last thing I want is just to be your friend
Been through this same thing time and time again
Let's pretend
Let's pretend everything's fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let's pretend we're fine
To go out in style and come home in denial
Let's pretend we're fine
Lie to ourselves
(If they don't look closer then they all believe it)
Lie to everyone else
(We can hold hands and we'll know that we're friends)
I can't take anymore of the make believe romance
It's killing my make believe heart
But I'd rather pretend we're together than know we're apart
Let's pretend everything's fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let's pretend we're fine
To go out in style and come home in denial
Let's pretend we're fine
(If they don't look close then they all believe it)
Let's pretend we're fine
(We can hold hands and we'll know that we're friends)
Let's pretend we're fine
