Pretending

Face to face and heart to heart
We're so close, yet so far apart
I close my eyes, I look away
That's just because I'm not okay

But I hold on
I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we always, always
Always be pretending?

How long do I fantasize?
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
And we can choose the ones we love

But I hold on
I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls?
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending?

Will we always
Always, always be

Keeping secrets safe, every move we make
Seems like no one's left to know
And it's such a shame, 'cause if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know?

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls? (Tear down all the walls)
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending? (Only be pretending)

Will we always, always
Always be (pretending, pretending)?
Will we always, always
Always be (pretending, pretending)?

Will we always, always
Always be pretending?
