Lyrics
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.
Say, won't you stay.
We could talk about
nothing at all.
We'll sit here and
make up the words,
as we go along...
The games, we could play,
maybe silently write us a song.
Quietly shout from the roof,
that we don't belong
They told me
maybe she's crazy
a little like you
Everyone said you were
nothing but trouble, and
all that I know I've
never been here before
And no I'll never
leave if it's alright
with you. Dreaming
of oceans while
jumping in puddles
And all of my life
I pretend you
were there by the door...
I don't need to pretend anymore
Strange, oh so
strange when it
feels better
being alone
You accept there
is nobody else
and set it
in stone
And then you,
came along
Your reflection
was so sad
and small
It made me believe
once again, that I
could be wrong...
They told me
maybe she's crazy
a little like you
Everyone said you were
nothing but trouble, and
all that I know I've
never been here before
And no I'll never
leave if it's alright
with you. Dreaming
of oceans while
jumping in puddles
And all of my life
I pretend you
were there by the door...
I don't need to pretend anymore
And it hurts, to know,
there was somebody
out there as strange and
as beautiful...as you
If I'd know... sooner...
maybe she's crazy
a little like you
Everyone said you were
nothing but trouble, and
all that I know I've
never been here before
And no I'll never
leave if it's alright
with you. Dreaming
of oceans while
jumping in puddles
And all of my life
I pretend you
were there by the door...
I don't need to pretend anymore
(maybe she's crazy
a little like you)
Everyone said you(I don't need to
pretend anymore) were
nothing but trouble...,
Maybe she's crazy
a little like you.
Everyone said you were
nothing but trouble
(I don't need to
pretend anymore)
