Pretend Lyrics

A house on the beach is what we had dreamed of

Oh we fantasized so much

We opened our eyes and now it's all lost

Cause you let go of me

But how could you not see

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

Cause I'm just hoping

You'll open

Your heart for me again

I've been trying my best

But I can't pretend

You took me off your pedestal

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

Ten months of seeing your face

Nine more of hearing your name

Eight hours I try to sleep

Seven days I overthink

Six times that I tried to call

Five text and still no response

you said forever then walked

Three hours later you called

You said "were better off friends"

A thought I can't comprehend

For us there needs to be two

But you're the one that I miss

Cause you let go of me

But how could you not see

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

Cause I'm just hoping

You'll open

Your heart for me again

I've been trying my best

But I can't pretend

You took me off your pedestal

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

All I want is what you lack

I loved you, I can't take that back

And never should have gave myself to you

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

Cause I'm just hoping

You'll open

Your heart for me again

I've been trying my best

But I can't pretend

You took me off your pedestal

I only wanted for you to be happy

But now I'm stuck in the backend

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
