Pretending

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain

Cover up her heart with a little paint

While he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away

There's nothing left to say

He knows that they're drowning

She hopes that there's still something left

Let go now 'cause he's leaving

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending keep it inside

She can feel them bending

All their love is pending so what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes

All her words are empty when she denies

That she can feel them bending

All their love is pending so what is she defending?

But she'd be fine pretending (She'd be fine)

Step into the light, to look him in the eye

Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed

But every little fight and every little lie

Is impossible to hide[Pre-Chorus]

He knows that they're drowning

She hopes that there's still something left

Let go now 'cause he's leaving

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending keep it inside

She can feel them bending

All their love is pending, so what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes

All her words are empty when she denies

That she can feel them bending

All their love is pending, so what is she defending?

But she'd be fine preten— (She'd be fine)

I hate to watch her hurt, I know it isn't right

But she can find the courage to leave it all behind

I wish I had the words to help her realize

That there is just no way to bring this back to life

He knows that they're drowning

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending keep it inside

She can feel them bending

All their love is pending, so what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes

All her words are empty when she denies

That she can feel them bending

All their love is pending, so what is she defending?

But she'd be fine preten—

She'd be fine
