Lyrics:

Let's say that was then.

Here we go again.

All our friends are filling the room.

It's like a play,

And the words that I'll say

Are not for you. They're for that costume.

Giving you hope

That when they pull the rope

It's on a happy ending. But baby, I'm pretending.



Isn't it hard?

The windows are barred

But you can't let go and can’t hold onto

Anything sure,

That's attached and secure.

Looking for a lifeline online;

Something to show

That I really do know.

So that file I'm sending but baby I’m pretending.



Baby I'm pretending even though I know better…



But I can’t refuse

'Cause, although on a ruse

You’ve come to me depending, baby I'm pretending.



Baby I'm pretending.

Baby I'm pretending.
