Pretend

We dug our graves
And parted ways
And counted down the days
Left it up to fate and circunstance
My mother said
"Don't feed the strays
They'll break your heart and run away"
But there you were, crying in my hand
What if I don't mess again?
What if I second guess again?
And listen to the worries in my head

I held you close
And felt the world
I land my fingers through your curves
I hope you took to heart what I said

Do your lungs forget to breathe?
Does your tounge forget to speak?
When you think you lost the thing you'll never find
When your mind don't let you sleep
When your prayers don't give you peace
Just pretend
We never said goodbye

You prommised me
You wouldn't leave
And boy, was I naive
I never should've let you in my yard
My mother said
"Don't give them names
They'll break your heart and run away"
And there you were, crying in my arms
Future's on the line again
I'm falling back in time again
It all comes rushing back in burning red

I hold you close
And felt the world
I land my fingers through your curves
I hope you took to heart what I said

Do your lungs forget to breathe
Does your tounge forget to speak
When you think you lost the thing you'll never find
When your mind don't let you sleep
When your prayers don't bring you peace
Just pretend
We never said goodbye

I see it all so vividly
Now thinking 'bout you's bittersweet
'Cause I was supposed to be your valentine
I'm counting sheep in make-believe
You're spitting out apologies
I tried
I know you tried

When you're lonely, when you're fine
Does it ever cross your mind?
The song we used to sing on 4:05
Do you ever think of me
In your crimson sweather sleeves?
And pretend
We never said goodbye

(Ah)
(And pretend)
(We never said goodbye)
(Ah)
(And pretend)
(We never said goodbye)
(Ah)
(And pretend)
(We never said goodbye)
(Ah)
(And pretend)
(We never said goodbye)
