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.
Time, time is what you said that you needed, away from me,
But i, i guess that i was too far in the distance, to hear me sing,
The things between us now, just haven't quite been the same, can we figure out, which one of us is to blame, because i can't go on.
And oh,
Why are we pretending?
Why are we just wasting time, on a love that isn't real?
Because if you don't want me,
You should just tell me,
So i can save these tears.
You, you said that you would never, never hurt me but i guess that was a lie,
Because it's killing me to watch you stare and i, i know this is goodbye,
And it's hard for me too think, that maybe this is the end, you are my heart, baby you were my bestfriend, but we can't go on.
And oh,
Why are we pretending?
Why are we just wasting time on a love that isn't real?
Because if you don't want me, you should just tell me now, so i can save these tears.
We tried to make it work but we just can't make it last,
We need to move on stop living in the past,
And i don't even no, how i'd have got so strange,
It's not the same.
And oh,
Why are we pretending?
Why are we just wasting time, on a love that isn't real?
Because if you don't want me, you should just tell me now,
So i can save these tears.
Let me save these tears.
