Pretend

girl, you’re changing too much
I feel it when the clock strikes four
I can’t love anyone else
yeah, you know me
but you’re not like anyone I’ve ever known
like a movie, it’s beautiful when it’s blue
the sky is beautiful when I’m with you
it’s a story that’s close to being good when we’re together
I want to break away from you, but there’s no day
but then it’s just time to start working
our love changes, not like it used to
since the day you got that look
it’s like we’re stuck, can’t just be us
hey, you can’t change, but you’re not the same
you can’t just leave, but you’re not the same
no need to pretend, I can’t do that anymore
just leave me, I’ll forget our story
that’s just how it is
stop pretending and let it be
what you do is just a bright light that’s love for me
you know it’s not real
when you shine
it’s more than anything you’ve done
just stop, you’re just a shadow

it’s just you talking about real things
there’s a vibe that’s better than just standing still
I don’t want anyone to be a burden
I don’t want to say that love is close to being a curse
you’re just a breeze, and it might be hard for me to be a good person
but the truth is better than what you do like it’s just a show
that’s just how it is
stop pretending and let it be
what you do is just a bright light that’s love for me
you know it’s not real
when you shine
it’s more than anything you’ve done
just stop, you’re just a shadow

it’s just you talking about real things
there’s a vibe that’s better than just standing still
I don’t want anyone to be a burden
you’re just a breeze
and I’m a good person
but the truth is better than what you do like it’s just a show
what you do is just a bright light that’s love for me
you know it’s not real
what you do is just a bright light that’s love for me
you know it’s not real
when you shine
it’s more than anything you’ve done
just stop, you’re just a shadow
it’s just you talking about real things.
