Pretending

Verse 1:

You look at me like we’re alright,

But we both know it’s just a lie.

You act like you care, play your part,

But your empty words tear me apart.

Pre-Chorus:

Pretending it’s real, but I see through the game,

You hide behind smiles, but we’re not the same.

I’m losing myself, lost in the charade,

Don’t speak the truth, just play what’s been made.

Bridge:

You say you love me, but it’s all pretend,

Promises broken, no means to an end.

Faking emotions, lying in disguise,

I see the truth behind those lies.

Chorus:

Pretending, pretending, you’re not what you seem,

Caught in the web of your perfect dream.

I’m tired of the act, I’m breaking the chains,

You’re just a shadow, lost in the games.

Verse 2:

I gave you my heart, but you threw it away,

Now I’m left with nothing but your empty play.

You think you’ve won, but the game’s not done,

I’ll break through your walls and see what you’ve become.

Pre-Chorus:

Pretending it’s real, but I see through the game,

You hide behind smiles, but we’re not the same.

I’m losing myself, lost in the charade,

Don’t speak the truth, just play what’s been made.

Chorus:

Pretending, pretending, you’re not what you seem,

Caught in the web of your perfect dream.

I’m tired of the act, I’m breaking the chains,

You’re just a shadow, lost in the games.

Outro (Fading Vocals):

“Pretending… pretending…”

“No more games, no more lies…”
