"Keep Pretending" lyrics

Your body burns and words won't tell no one how you still feel
Imagine how it used to seem, the secret between you and me
I guess we're even now, you emptied out the cup to see
The bottom line keeps changing, it's the constant, it's the change

It's when you're reckless
But you and I both know that it's the ending
We could break it down and try to change your perspective
When you and I both know that it's the same thing

You travel light, you try to take yourself to brand-new heights
You trust yourself, you trust your ease, in the small before they never seen
You calmly whispered in my ear "There's something you should see"
But you won't let me show you as you turn away

So you can keep pretending
But you and I both know that it's the ending
Like the calm before the storm feels never-ending
It's like reaching for the top but you're descending
There's you hoping for the best

But you keep pretending
Yeah you keep pretending
As you keep pretending

As you tried to get even
But the closer you got to your heart
As you followed in the footsteps
Of the unknown
But you wanna justify
Said you don't dance, you worry
You try to push it aside
Don't you worry this time

It's your deception as you take a look on what used to be
Your mind over the matter is, you see it from the other kids
But they all escaped somehow, you run away but you're scared to leave
From underneath there always is a far-away exception

You've been [?]
When you and I both know that it's the same thing
You can break it down and try to change your perspective
It's like reaching for the top but you're descending
And you work so hard, love to see the same thing
When you're caught by the feelings of these dreams you came from
There's you caught between the losses

You keep pretending
As you keep pretending
As you keep pretending
