Bad Omens - Just Pretend Lyrics

Bad Omens Lyrics

"Just Pretend"

I'm not afraid of the war you've come to wage against my sins
I'm not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend

So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

I know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face
And not a day goes by where I don't think I feel the same

So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend

Weigh down on me
Stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me
Stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend

Weigh down on me
Stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me
Stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

Vocalist Noah Sebastian told Kerrang.com about "Just Pretend", "I'm not proud to admit this song kind of started ironically. Being the arrogant person I am, I was trying to prove a point of how easy it is to write modern active rock music suitable for radio, because it all sounds the same to me: boring as shit. So I made this little guitar track and loop, free-styled some melody ideas with an obnoxious deliberate macho cadence and by the time I finished the chorus, I realised the song had potential to actually be really sick, so I started taking it more seriously. From there Joakim and I started working on it together for a couple days and it ultimately became what it is now: a song I'm very happy with and proud of that means a lot to me. I did not learn my lesson and I will continue to write songs out of spite..."
