Let’s Not Pretend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Been spending quite some time trying to fix the way I am And chasing all the bad don't make it good Even when I was a child, I never trusted anyone And trying to change me now will get you nowhere I try to think of this and he tries to handle that And we try to get along but we get nowhere I try to be polite and he tries to be nice And it's all a big joke and I hate that [Chorus] Let's not pretend that things are easy to do With a fake smile on your face You try to see me through Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true With a fake smile on your face You try to play me for a fool [Verse 2] He said his hands were tied, but I see him hanging on To a bunch of white lies and hold back There was once a time when I almost believed We'd crawl out how stupid is that? I try to be smart and pretend that I'm strong But I'm weak as a child, I'm weak as a child He says that he is fine and I wish that was a lie How selfish is that? [Chorus] Let's not pretend that things are easy to do With a fake smile on your face You try to see me through Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true With a fake smile on your face You try to play me for a fool Let's not pretend that things are easy to do With a fake smile on your face You try to see me through Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true With a fake smile on your face You try to play me for a fool [Outro] Let's not pretend that things are easy to do With a fake smile on your face You try to see me through Let's not pretend it didn't happen, that's not true With a fake smile on your face You try to play me for a fool
