Swimming in the dark

We bound to drift apart

And I just can't go on

Pretending we're in love

We play with matches in the rain but never learned

We try to light it but the fire never burned

You thought that love was just a casting call

(Well it's) our turn to quit before the curtain falls

Sing out!

Don't need to pretend to love me

You don't need to pretend to want me

You don't need to pretend to need me

We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?

Lost my mind

Now I dance around her heart

Like an actor plays the part

I hit the stage and I get blinded by the lights

I read the script but I just can't recite the lines

You thought that love was just a casting call

(Well it's) our turn to quit before the curtain falls

Sing out!

Don't need to pretend to love me

We just never were meant to ever be

You don't need to pretend to love me

We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?

You thought that love was just a casting call

(Well it's) our turn to quit before the curtain falls

Sing out!

Don't need to pretend to love me

You don't need to pretend to want me

You don't need to pretend to need me

We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?

Sing out!

Don't need to pretend to love me

We just never were meant to ever be

You don't need to pretend to love me

We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?

So get on with your life

'Cause we're just wasting time

Am I wrong? Am I right?

Or have I lost my mind?
