Pretend


Lie, lie, lie
I'll pretend that I got over it
When I know it's a lie
Seven thirty, bright and early
Who would have ever thought
I'd be hurting
When I see you
Can't believe that I see you, no

First, I told myself
Wait a minute
Calm yourself down
And give him the benefit of the doubt
And that's when he showed out

He was holding and kissing
Smiling and whispering
Sweet nothings in her ear
Ya, ya (ya, ya)
He looked so in love
Like he loved her most of all
And right then
I closed my eyes

To pretend like
I didn't see that girl
Within your grip
When I know that I did
I'll pretend it didn't hurt me
I didn't cry
That I got over it
When I know it's a lie
Lie, lie, lie
I'll pretend that I got over it
When I know it's a lie

My head told me
You were worth it
My heart told me
Girl, you shouldn't
He's no good, oh
But I can't let you go
Cause I kept thinking
Back in the times
When we were so in love
When no one could break us up
When did we go wrong?

You were holding and kissing
Smiling and whispering
Sweet nothings in her ear
Ya, ya (ya, ya)
He looked so in love
Like he loved her most of all
And right then
I closed my eyes

To pretend like I didn't see that girl
(I-I-I'll pretend that I)
Within your grip
When I know that I did
I'll pretend it didn't hurt me (no, no)
I didn't cry (I'll pretend)
That I got over it
When I know it's a lie
Lie, lie, lie
I know you didn't lie to me [x3] (Oh, oh)
I'll pretend that I got over it
When I know it's a lie

I'm gonna lie to myself right now
Ain't go no time to figure out why
My babe going out in the middle of the night
To break my heart
And I'm not ready to fight that fight
I still can't forget
But I'm gonna try
So when he comes through that door
I'm gonna love him a little more

To pretend like
Ya, ya, ya
When I know that I did, oh
It didn't hurt me
I didn't cry
That I got over it
When I know it's a lie

Lie, lie, lie
I know you didn't lie to me [x2]
The lie [x4]
I'll pretend that I got over it
When I know it's a lie

Oh, oh, oh, whoa
Oh, oh, ya
Ya
I'll pretend
