Pretend

It happened in the past
It won't happen again
Post-binge empty promises
Am I into the pain?
I know I never learn
I'll do the same thing to you
Or do I do it to myself now baby
Maybe I don't have a clue

You say you think you know yourself now baby
'It won't happen to me'
But when you feel it in your chest now lady
Well it gets harder to breathe, yeah
What's next now, woman?
Don't ask me
Cause I can feel it in my chest now baby
It's getting harder to breathe

Don't wake me if I'm sleeping
Let me live in the dream
Who am I even pleading?
It's me that puts up the screen
So to my mind - please stop resisting
Let my body give in
If it's really all just smoke screens
I'm cool if we just pretend
That it'll never end

I'm cool if we just pretend
Yeah
I'm cool if we just pretend

You think you know yourself now baby
'It won't happen to me'
But when you feel it in your chest now lady
Well it gets harder to breathe, yeah
What's next now, woman?
Don't ask me
Cause I can feel it in my chest now baby
It's getting harder to breathe
You say you think you know yourself now baby
(You think you know yourself, you think you know yourself)
'It won't happen to me'
(You think you know you wanna know me just as well)
But when you feel it in your chest now lady
Well it gets harder to breathe, yeah
(It gets hard to breathe)
What's next now, woman?
(You think you know yourself, you think you know yourself)
Don't ask me
(You think you know you wanna know me just as well)
Cause I can feel it in my chest now baby
It's getting harder to breathe
(It gets hard to breathe)
