[Male Singing] I know you've tried to fake it Hoping we can still make it But your heart's not here anymore Can't hold back the tears anymore I know what's left is just an illusion But let me just live in my delusion... [Pre-chorus] I don't care if it's real or not In my heart you'll always have a spot I know to you we're pretty much through So even though that's true... [Chorus] Can we just pretend (Pretend you still care) (Pretend you want me there) Can we just pretend Even if its not true Keep it between us two Yeah... Can we just pretend [Rap] Uh (yeah) Coming to grips with this new reality is a trip It's hard to think that I'll never get to kiss your lips I mean you and I used to be joined at the hip But then reality went ahead and flipped the script Our plans took a hit—miles apart we now sit Lookin' at old flicks when love was still in our midst Rips me apart and leaves fractures on my heart... I hope we'll go back to how we were at the start It's really hell waiting for the other shoe to drop On the day you finally bring this train to a halt. The energy has changed, now we barely even talk We used speak for hours, hand in hand, we'd walk But now every call is awkward, dialog feels rushed I can't accept the new status quo, I feel crushed. . . By the thought of losing you, this can't be true Can't we pretend it's love between me and you Figure out a safe way through with a better view Maybe fake it til we make it, our love is beautiful—let's not break it... [Breakdown] [Bridge] If you're feeling stuck well then I'm outta luck Can't we just pretend we're still the same old us Filled with love and light, no worries and no fuss (Mhmm can we just pretend....) [Pre-chorus] I don't care if it's real or not In my heart you'll always have a spot I know to you we're pretty much through So even though that's true... [Chorus] Can we just pretend (Pretend you still care) (Pretend you want me there) Can we just pretend Even if its not true Keep it between us two Yeah... Can we just pretend [Outro - Talking] I still believe in us, I'm still holding on to the promise It really hurts to watch you pull away from me I can't accept this new reality...
