(Verse 1)
You smile every morning, I smile back the same
We act like nothing’s wrong, just playing the game
Behind closed doors, your heart’s not mine
And mine’s been wandering for quite some time
(Pre-Chorus)
We hold hands like everything's fine
But we're both just reading lines
(Chorus)
This pretend love, a well-rehearsed show
Secrets in our eyes that we’ll never let go
We stitch fake love for the world to see
But deep inside, we're both guilty secretly
Of loving someone else quietly
(Verse 2)
You leave late at night, and I don't even ask
'Cause I’ve got a story behind my own mask
We sit at the table, but don’t really speak
The silence says more, love here is weak
(Bridge)
We lie with a smile, both know it’s untrue
But it’s easier than saying we’re through
Each of us waiting for the other to fall
End this story once and for all
(Chorus)
This pretend love, a well-rehearsed show
Secrets in our eyes that we’ll never let go
We stitch fake love for the world to see
But deep inside, we're both guilty secretly
Of loving someone else quietly
(Outro)
Maybe someday the truth will break through
Or we’ll keep acting like lovers do
Whatever the ending turns out to be
We both know this was never meant to be
