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.
I can't afford to live
I can't afford to take my chance
Looking at the ways
They're telling me to live in fear
To give it all again
I gave it all for nothing, yeah
Celebrate the truth
At least I fought to get us here
If anyone should ask
How the story goes
Just pretend we're almost there
Just pretend, pretend
Holding on for life
Holding on for one reason
Looking at the ways
Returning me for one last time
Celebrate the truth
At least I fought to get us here
If anyone should ask
How the story goes
Just pretend we're almost there
Just pretend
And when the wreckage breaks
We'll fall into below
Just pretend it's safe and warm
Just pretend, pretend
