Pretending

Face to face and heart to heart, we're so close yet so far apart
I close my eyes, I look away, that's just because I'm not okay
But I hold on, I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have our happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we ah-ah, ah-always, ah-ah, ah-always
Ah-ah, ah-always be pretending?

How long do I fantasize, make believe that it's still alive?
Imagine that I am good enough, and we can choose the ones we love
But I hold on, I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have our happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we ah-ah, ah-always, ah-ah, ah-always
Ah-ah, always be

Keeping secrets safe, every move we make
Seems like no one's letting go
And it's such a shame 'cause if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know?

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have our happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we ah-ah, ah-always, ah-ah, ah-always
Ah-ah, ah-always be
Will we ah-ah, ah-always, ah-ah, ah-always
Ah-ah, ah-always be

Will we ah-ah, ah-always, ah-ah, ah-always
Ah-ah, ah-always be pretending?
