Can't 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.
Love, I have wounds
Only you can mend
You can mend (oh)
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend (oh)
Feel, my skin is rough
But it can be cleansed
It can be cleansed (oh)
And my arms are tough
But they can be bent
They can be bent
And I wanna fight
But I can't contend
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend (oh)
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls they blend
Yeah, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends
But I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls they blend
Yeah, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
