Pretend

Pretend
Sometimes I wish that we could all forget
Your figure fades into a silhouette
But I hear you breathing
I'm done believing
We're painting portraits but the canvas is blank
If this life is a gift then who do we thank?
You're desperate for the answer
It eats at you like cancer

Tonight won't ever end
Can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead
And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
Your head is filled with unproven thoughts
Twisting theories into bigger knots
And I feel you dreaming
You're done believing
Tried to avoid this, but I'm weak to the bone
My inner compass points me to the unknown
But I still keep running faster
Yeah, someday I'll find the answer
Tonight won't ever end
Can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
We'll paint the walls instead
And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pretend, pretend, pretend
We'll paint the walls instead
And I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again
I wanted to know you
But I still don't know myself
I've got so much to show you
Won't you show me the way?
Tonight won't ever end
Can we pretend, pretend, pretend?
I don't want this to end
So I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Tonight will never end
Can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ahh, oh)
Lights turned low, lights turned low
Cause I don't want to see this go
So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
