Verse 1
You said you loved me, but only halfway
Like I was a place you planned to leave someday
You touched my hand, but not my soul
Now I’m left with stories you never told
Pre-Chorus
I gave you all of me, you gave what you could spare
Now I’m standing here with memories that don’t care
Chorus
So let’s pretend you never made me fall
Pretend you never meant those midnight calls
You smiled, but your heart was never mine
Now I see the truth I missed the whole damn time
It wasn’t love, it was just pretend
Another story with a bitter end
Verse 2
You held me close but your eyes were miles away
I begged for answers, you had none to say
I stayed when I should’ve walked away
Now I carry the weight of your gray
Bridge
You played a part so perfectly
While I was drowning silently
Now I won’t chase a shadow's trace
I’m done with loving empty space
Chorus (Repeat)
So let’s pretend you never made me fall
Pretend you never meant those midnight calls
You smiled, but your heart was never mine
Now I see the truth I missed the whole damn time
It wasn’t love, it was just pretend
Another story with a bitter end
Outro
You said forever, I said okay
But forever doesn’t lie —
You just walked away
