Pretending
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.
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
Trust is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our heart, my baby
It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right
When doubts arise the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right, c'mon
So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing pray, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
