Pretend

[Verse 1]
Oh isn’t it, isn’t is lonely here
Right between the shoulds and shouldn’ts
Just past the woulds and wouldn’ts

Oh do you get, do you get sore like me
Reaching both ways every moment
Afraid you’ll snap if you keep holding on

[Chorus]
Isn’t it nice?
Isn’t it grand?
Playing pretend
When the lights are off oh

And when they’re back on
We’re back in our corners
With weight on our shoulders

[Verse 2]
Oh isn’t it, isn’t it lovely here
Now I’m written on your arm
Now I’m tied around your wrist

I misread the map
We’re on different paths
Babe, how sad is that?

[Chorus]
Isn’t it nice?
Isn’t it grand?
Playing prеtend
When the lights arе off oh

And when they’re back on
We’re back in our corners
With weight on our shoulders

[Bridge]
In between
Wants and needs
Stay or leave
Should I do the latter?

Middle of
Former loves
Paper doves
Should I let them crumble?

[Verse 3/Outro]
Oh isn’t it, isn’t is lonely here
Right between the shoulds and shouldn’ts
Just past the woulds and wouldn’ts

Oh do you get, do you get sore like me
Reaching both ways every moment
Afraid you’ll snap if you keep holding on
