Pretend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes I wish that we could all forget
Your figure fades into a silhouette
But I hear you breathing
I'm done believing
We're painting portraits but the canvas is blank
If this life is a gift then who do we pay?
You're desperate for the answer
It eats at you like cancer
Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
Your head is filled with unproven thoughts
Twisting theories into bigger knots
And I feel you dreaming
You're done believing
Tried to avoid this but I'm weak to the bone
My inner compass points me to the unknown
But I still keep running faster
Yea, someday I'll find the answer
Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend
We'll paint the walls instead, and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
I wanted to know you
Though I still don't know myself
I've got so much to show you
Won't you show me the way? (yea)
Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
I don't want this to end so I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend
Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
Lights turned low
Lights turned low cause I don't wanna see this go
So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
