Pretend Songtext
von Josh Kumra

Singing it is easy
But saying it terrifies me
So many clichés in songs
That nobody ever says in conversation
Like I think about you all the time
And you′re always on my mind
But the meaning's left behind in rotation

Radio plays it every day
Until I feel there′s nothing new to say
And lyrics don't work face to face
And I don't know if I can take the humiliation
Of telling you what′s on my mind
′Cause what I really feel doesn't rhyme
And there′s no melody to hide behind


But I can always pretend
My emotions have
A start, a middle and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you
It′s not about you

If games are for children
I guess I've got some growing up to do
′Cause hitting anyone who'll listen
Means I'll never have to tell you what you mean to me
Just in case you turn me down
′Cause if my music′s not your style
All you have to do is turn it down

But I can always pretend
My emotions have
A start, a middle and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you
It′s not about you


All the smoke and mirrors that I use
To tell my version of the truth
They cover me and make me look much stronger
And to you I'm right where I belong
I can say what I want, can′t do no wrong
'Cause it′s only a song
It's only a song

But I can always pretend
My emotions have
A start, a middle and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you
It′s not about you
