Pretend

I’ve been thrown in the mud

You just left me there where I stood

And I know I deserve as much

Because I never treated you good

I’m in a dump wishing I still had my car

‘Cause I’m kinda stuck wondering where you are

And I know to this day

All I’ve ever done has driven you away

But I’m feeling the heartache

And feeling it too much has driven me to say

 

I’ll run over rough roads

Travel terrible terrains

Just to hear you say my name

And I know that without you

I’ll never be the same

Because you cannot be replaced

 

See I’ve fought and I’ve fallen

But those days are old and

I promise it won’t happen again

And I know about that

I cannot pretend

 

‘Cause you see with all I’ve got

I’ve gone in over my head

And there’s no way I can erase all of the things I regret

I’ve lived up too much life and now it feels like it’s the end

‘Cause being without you means I’m practically dead

You see when all that’s done is done and all that’s said is said

I’ve got a hold in my heart taking over in your stead

Believe me boy I know I don’t deserve to have you again

But even you know that without you I can’t stand

Honestly, babe, there’s just so much I can’t take

And there’s no more I can shake

But I want to shake it all off

‘Cause the weight’s pulling me down

Yelling that I was wrong

Yelling that you were right

And you were all the time

And maybe sometimes past I shouldn’t’ve crossed the line

But I did it anyway

I made a huge mistake

And now I’m stuck with heartache

Because I’ve pushed you away

I pushed you to the limit

And now you left well that’s a given

And you’ve given so much

All your love and all your trust

And now to get it back I’m gonna pick myself up

And get myself going on the way back to you

Because to feel your love gain there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

 

I’ll run over rough roads

Travel terrible terrains

Just to hear you say my name

And I know that without you

I’ll never be the same

Because you cannot be replaced

 

See I’ve fought and I’ve fallen

But those days are old and

I promise it won’t happen again

And I know about that

I cannot pretend

 

And I, I know that the trouble that I put you through

Would never let you change your mind

But I, with my heart and soul feel the need for us to be together

Just you and I

 

I’ll run over rough roads

Travel terrible terrains

Just to hear you say my name

And I know that without you

I’ll never be the same

Because you cannot be replaced

 

Oh, deep inside I’m melting

And I just can’t help it

‘Cause I need to be with you again

Boy you make me complete

And without you with me

Insanity is imminent

Because I need you with me now

And I know that about that

I cannot pretend
