"The Pretend Song" lyrics

I could try to pretend that the world don't turn
Or pretend that the sky's never blue
Or pretend that the stars in the night don't burn
Or pretend that I'm fine without you

I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend some things, too
I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend, and I do
And I do

I could try to pretend that it all made sense
As we did what we both had to do
I could try to pretend that it's all past tense
And I'm not gonna dream about you

I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend some things, too
I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend, and I do

And you can pretend that the blame all lies with me
And I can pretend that I'm really feeling free
You can pretend that I never could please you
Actually, actually that'd be true

I could try to pretend that I'm alright now
Waking up in a room with a view
I could try to pretend that in hindsight now
I see lots of good reasons we're through

I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend some things, too
I can pretend, you know
I can pretend a lot
I can pretend, and I do
And I do

And I do
And I do
