"Pretending" lyrics

"Pretending"

Open your eyes if you can't see what's going on
I can't deny that everything's weird and something's wrong
Like you're stranded in the ocean
Trying to overcome emotion
Waiting for a savor to rescue you

Pretending everything's alright, but I ain't naive
Pretending everything is fine, be real with me

The sky is falling down and everyone's eyes are on the ground
I miss the news, now they never mind truth, never mind me and you
I don't know who allowed it
What can I do about it
But patiently wait for the dam to break

Pretending everything's alright, but I ain't naive
Pretending everything is fine, be real with me

I don't know where we go from here, but I just wanna wish it away
And every now then the thought comes creeping in
We ain't here to stay
We ain't here to stay

You know I've got a lot to say
You've probably heard it all
We only wanna make a play
When our backs against the wall

Pretending everything's alright, but I ain't naive
Pretending everything is fine, be real with me
Be real with me
Be real with me
Be real with me
