Pretend - Josh Kumra

作词：Rachel Moulden/Paul Heard/Josh Kumra

作曲：Rachel Moulden/Paul Heard/Josh Kumra

Singing it is easy but saying it terrifies me

So many cliches in songs that nobody ever says in conversation

Like I think about you all the time

And you're always on my mind

But the meaning's left behind in rotation

Radio plays it everyday

Until I feel there's nothing new to say

And lyrics don't work face to face

And I don't know if I could take the humiliation

Of telling you what's on my mind

Cos what I really feel doesn't rhyme

And there's no melody to hide behind

But I can always pretend

My emotions have a start and an end it

Just like this song does

And I can always pretend

It's not about you it's not about you

If games are for children

I guess I got some growing up to do

Cos it ain't anyone who'll listen

Means I'll never have to tell you what you mean to me

Just in case you turn me down

Cos if my music's not your style

All you have to do is turn me down

But I can always pretend

My emotions have a start and an end it

Just like this song does

And I can always pretend

It's not about you it's not about you

All the smoking mirrors that I use to tell my version of the truth

They cover me and make me look much stronger

And to you I'm right where I belong

I can say what I want and do no wrong

Cos it's only a song it's only a song

But I can always pretend

My emotions have a start and an end it

Just like this song does

And I can always pretend

It's not about you it's not about you
