Pretending

Let's say that was then here we go again
All our friends are filling the room, it's like a play
And the words that I'll say are not for you
They're for that costume, giving you hope
That when they pull the rope
It's on a happy ending but baby, I'm pretending

Isn't it hard? The windows are barred
But you can't let go and cant hold onto
Anything sure that's attached and secure
Looking for a lifeline online something to show
That I really do know
So that file I'm sending but baby, Im pretending

Baby, I'm pretending even though I know better

But I cant refuse 'cause, although on a ruse
Youve come to me depending, baby, I'm pretending

Baby, I'm pretending, baby, I'm pretending
