Pretending Lyrics - Michael Penn

Let's say that was then here we go again 

All our friends are filling the room, it's like a play 

And the words that I'll say are not for you 

They're for that costume, giving you hope 

That when they pull the rope 

It's on a happy ending but baby, I'm pretending 

Isn't it hard? The windows are barred 

But you can't let go and cant hold onto 

Anything sure that's attached and secure 

Looking for a lifeline online something to show 

That I really do know 

So that file I'm sending but baby, Im pretending 

Baby, I'm pretending even though I know better 

But I cant refuse 'cause, although on a ruse 

Youve come to me depending, baby, I'm pretending
