I'm in the black again Can't make it back again We can just pretend We'll make it home again From everything now (Everything now)

I felt it all, just like a cannonball You know I can't stand no more You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused You let me down, with all your runnin' round Still you pretend and try to call me friend Don't say

And I'm not one to learn to be the same. When I'm with you Don't know what you really got. It's hard to stay and not pretend. You can't make sense in what you thought. It seems I can't comprehend. Well I'm happy to be, only all that you see. I don't want

Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again Like the first fires Run from fences, you don't have to pretend Now do you see it, the dream is gone Fatal fire, moving on Why do you need it in the ways to come Over you, the undertone First fires And if you

I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it Can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

I'm supposed to stop, but I can't I sip way too much drank I don't think I can think I won't try to tell lies This blunt got me too high 'Cause you and I are just friends So I won't try to pretend 'Cause you and I just friends I won't try to pretend

I still really really love you Love is stronger than pride I won't pretend that I intend to stop living I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving But I can't hate you Though I have tried Although I have tried Mm mm mm mm mm

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is

With the girl of my best friend Will it ever end The way she walks The way she talks How long can I pretend Oh I can't help it, I'm in love with the girl of my best friend Her lovely hair Her skin so fair

And I can't stop thinking about you You never go on till I do I can't stop thinking about you And I fall asleep and dream of alternate realities And I put myself at ease by pretending that she still loves me All alone in my room think of you at a rate
