Pretending

Pretending my life is not in ruins

Pretending I'm not depressed

Pretending I left it all behind

Pretending most of the time

Just pretending

Just pretending

Pretending when I'm on a stage

Pretending when I get off

Pretending that it's not real

Pretending when it's my joke

Just pretending

Just pretending

Pretending makes the world go round

People love it when we wear a mask

Whoa, sometimes makes my head spin

When I feel I'm not up to the task

Pretending everything makes sense

Pretending I'm someone else

Pretending I'm in the present tense

I'm really miles away in a trance

I'm pretending

I'm pretending

Pretending that everything is fair

I'm looking up in the air

Rolling my eyes once again

Pretending you've got nothing to gain

I'm pretending

Just pretending

Pretending that you're on my side

Pretending everything is open wide

Pretending you're not just along for the ride

Pretending it can't be tonight

Just pretending

Just pretending

Pretending we're on the same page

Pretending I'm some kinda sage

Pretending you get the same wage

Pretending folk music is all the rage

I'm just pretending

Just pretending

Just pretending

Just pretending

Just pretending

Pretending be alright in the end

Pretending everyone is my friend

Pretending there's hope around the bend

Pretending that you're not outta your head

I'm pretending

Pretending

Pretending I'm sleeping at night

Pretending when I turn out the light

Pretending that girl is outta sight

Trying with all of my might

But I'm still pretending

Still pretending

Still pretending

Still pretending

Pretending makes the world go round

People love it when you wear that mask

Whoa, sometimes can make your head spin

When you feel like you're not up to the task

'Cause you're pretending

Pretending I'm not alone (I'm not alone)

Pretending I'm on the way home (on the way home)

Pretending I'm listening to you (listening to you)

Pretending that you're pretending too (pretending too)

Just pretending

Just pretending

Just pretending

Just pretending

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
