PRETEND All i is to do pretend that I dont care anyone cause thats the way I can live a run days of love in these confused feelings made up lies, I'm allowed to do sin but I dont oh I don't cause I don't don't pretend to be alright infront of everyone cause it drains all the mood that I'm having all alone don't pretend to be everyone's favorite ploting twists in stories oh that's no my job holding to good hiding so good And maybe I'm tired of running away from all of the things I don't know how to say I smile when they look, then I fade when they're gone pretending I'm right when I know that I'm wrong [Chorus] Oh, I don't wanna pretend anymore I don't wanna hide what I'm feeling inside I've been closing every door just to keep the pieces of me alive If I cry, let me cry if I fall, let me fall I don't need to be somebody's favorite at all Oh, maybe someday I'll learn I don't have to pretend to be someone I’m not [Verse 2] I keep my secrets underneath my skin where nobody knows where the hurt begins I laugh at the jokes, I play along then I go home and wonder where I belong Everybody wants a perfect face a perfect heart in a perfect place but I'm just trying to breathe tonight without turning all my wrongs into right [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I'm scared of being seen of letting somebody know what I really mean So I paint my smile and I carry on but the colors disappear when everyone is gone [Chorus] Oh, I don't wanna pretend anymore I don't wanna hide what I'm feeling inside I've been closing every door just to keep the pieces of me alive If I cry, let me cry if I fall, let me fall I don't need to be somebody's favorite at all Oh, maybe someday I'll learn I don't have to pretend to be someone I’m not [Bridge] Maybe I'm not broken maybe I'm just tired maybe all these feelings are the things that make me human And if I lose somebody for showing who I am then maybe they were never meant to understand [Breakdown] oh oh oh uh uh uh oh oh oh uh uh uh cause I do pretend to pretend i pretend oh oh oh uh uh uh oh oh oh uh uh uh but underneath it all I'm still trying to understand I don't wanna pretend anymore let the whole world see me as I am I don't wanna smile just to hide the storm I don't wanna live inside somebody else's plan If I cry, let me cry if I fall, let me fall I don't need to be everyone's favorite at all And if tomorrow comes I'll face it on my own maybe I was never meant to feel at home in everyone [Outro] All i is to do pretend that I dont care anyone cause thats the way I can live a run But maybe I don't have to run maybe I don't have to hide maybe I can let myself feel everything inside oh oh oh uh uh uh oh oh oh uh uh uh cause I do pretend to pretend i pretend but tonight... I don't wanna pretend.
