"Pretending" lyrics

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart, with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away
There's nothing left to say

He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
In messages she's sending
So what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
But she can feel them bending
In messages she's sending
So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine preten-

Step into the light, to look him in the eye
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed
But every little fight and every little lie
Is impossible to hide

He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
In messages she's sending
So what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
But she can feel them bending
In messages she's sending
So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine preten-

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
In messages she's sending
So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine pretending
