Pretending - The Icarus Account

If I could read your mind

Maybe we’d be fine

If you could turn back time

Would you still be mine

I swear that you don’t have to go

This could be the end

Will you steal a part of my soul

Will we still be friends

The real you did I ever know

Tonight let’s just pretend

Say that you love me now

Honestly it’s ok if you’re pretending

Let’s make love on the couch

One last time I’m ok with just pretending

So what if we’re just going through the motions

At least we won’t be lonely in the moment

Lie to me one more night

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

(Pretend that you love me)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

I go drinking sometimes

To wash you out of my mind

When I meet someone new

I still pretend that she’s you

I swear that you don’t have to go

This could be the end

Will you steal a part of my soul

Are we even friends

The real you will I ever know

Tonight let’s just pretend

Say that you love me now

Honestly it’s ok if you’re pretending

Let’s make love on the couch

One last time I’m ok with just pretending

So what if we’re just going through the motions

At least we won’t be lonely in the moment

Lie to me just one night

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

(Pretend that you love me)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

I swear that you don’t have to go

This is the end

Yeah, you stole a part of my soul

Were we ever friends

One last night

Just pretend

Say that, say that, say that, say that…

Say that you love me now

Honestly it’s ok if you’re pretending

Let’s make love on the couch

One last time I’m ok with just pretending

So what if we’re just going through the motions

At least we won’t be lonely in the moment

Lie to me one more night

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending

(Pre-tend)

(Pretend that you love me)

'Cause if we’re honest we were always just pretending
