"Keep Pretending" lyrics

We built a bridge and burned it down
Just look at us, we're chokin' on the ashes now
We shot too high, we missed the sky
But lucky us, we kissed before we hit the ground

All the pretty peelin'
'Bout to show a blacken memory
Constantly concealin'
What we'll never be, so

This is the lie you want
It tastes much sweeter than the truth you've been hidin' from
We bit off more than we can chew
Suck the words back down
Rip my tongue right out
Let's keep pretendin'
We'll end up a happy endin'

A thousand days, a thousand nights
No rest for us, we're bracin' for another fight
The same charade, don't let it fade
We keep it up to keep the people satisfied

All the pretty peelin'
'Bout to show a blacken memory
Constantly concealin'
What we'll never be, so

This is the lie you want
It tastes much sweeter than the truth you've been hidin' from
We bit off more than we can chew
Suck the words back down
Rip my tongue right out
Let's keep pretendin'
We'll end up a happy endin'

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

This is the lie you want
It tastes much sweeter than the truth you've been hidin' from
We bit off more than we can chew
Suck the words back down
Rip my tongue right out
Let's keep pretendin'
We'll end up a happy endin'
This is the lie you want (Oh-oh)
It tastes much sweeter than the truth you've been hidin' from (Oh-oh-oh)
We bit off more than we can chew
Suck the words back down
Rip my tongue right out (Oh-oh)
Let's keep pretendin'
We'll end up a happy endin'
