If you really gotta know I´m not doing so good
Turned out to hurt more than I thought it would

Cause I
Just can´t handle losing you again
But the last thing I want is just to be your friend
Been through this same thing time and time again
Let´s pretend

Let´s pretend everythings fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let´s pretend we´re fine
Go out in style and come home in denial
Let´s pretend we´re fine

If you really gotta know I´m not doin so good
(ah)
Hurt me way more than I thought it could

Cause I
Just can´t handle losing you again
But the last thing I want is just to be your friend
Been through this same thing time and time again
Let´s pretend (pretend)

Let´s pretend everythings fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let´s pretend we´re fine
Go out in style and come home in denial
Let´s pretend we´re fine

Lie... to ourselves
(if they don´t look closer then they all believe it)
Lie... to everyone else
(we can hold hands and we´ll know that we´re friends)

I can´t take anymore of the make believe romance
It´s killing my make believe heart (killing my make believe heart)
But I´d rather pretend we´re together than know we´re apart

Let´s pretend everythings fine
Put on our fake smiles and keep wasting our time
Let´s pretend we´re fine
Go out in style and come home in denial
Let´s pretend we´re fine
(if they don´t look close then they all believe it)
Let´s pretend we´re fine
(we can hold hands and we´ll know that we´re friends)
Let´s pretend we´re fine
