Pretend

"It's pretend, you're an adult, you should know that"

I got the brain, the body
The flame inside me
Loves acting to make you think your plan ruined everything
I saw your castle crumbling
Your ego drowning
As I was watching the scene from a better perspective, oh

I don't know
How to do it, how to fix it
Oh, ah
I don't show
You'll see at the end, it was just pretend

And Now you knock, knock, knock on my door
But I've lock, lock, locked the "before"
You say "I don't wanna let you fall apart" more than ever
Knock, knock, knock on my door
Yeah you stalk, stalk, stalk, I ignore
But I don't want you to see that I have become better

The game, not the kind you expected
Not the role you assigned me
What a surprise when you saw me running away
Behind my good acting, I was trying
To make you see what you wanted
Now I can say "it's pretend"

Now I know
How to do it, don't wanna fix it
Oh, ah
I can show
All the sweat and tears I gave to pretend

And Now you knock, knock, knock on my door
But I've lock, lock, locked the "before"
You say "I don't wanna let you fall apart" more than ever
Knock, knock, knock on my door
Yeah you stalk, stalk, stalk, I ignore
But I don't want you to see that I have become better

It's pretend
Comprehend
I've never thought one sec what you wanted me to think, oh
It's pretend (it's pretend)
Apprehend (apprehend)
Oh I won't keep the silence you know I'm talkative, oh

Now I have bro, bro, broken the phone
You can not, not, not call my home
Didn't know you were the beast
When you thought you were someone clever
Not, not, not what you thought
Yeah I got, got, got what you fought
So I don't want you to see that I have become better

Knock, knock, knock on my door
But I've lock, lock, locked the "before"
You say "I don't wanna let you fall apart" more than ever
Knock, knock, knock on my door
Yeah you stalk, stalk, stalk, I ignore
But I don't want you to see that I have
Pretend
