Love Pretenders Lyrics - Greetings From California - The Madden Brothers

Maybe we should just be love pretenders 

Cause baby we don't need these scars 

Never gonna let my heart surrender 

I'm afraid to fall too hard 

I've dropped my soul down the darkest hole 

And I can't find my way out 

But I retrace the steps I take 

And I try to figure out 

Why do I do this to myself? 

Why do I let my guard down? 

Why do I just replay the past? 

Why do I let you come around? 

We've both been here before 

Yeah, we've both been here 

Maybe we should just be love pretenders 

Baby, we don't need these scars 

Never gonna let my heart surrender 

I'm afraid to fall too hard 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

I'm optimistic, that if we risk it 

We could work it out 

But it's a gamble, when hearts get tangled 

We could come unwound 

Why do we do this to ourselves 

When we need each other? 

Why don't we try to make this last? 

Why don't we try to stick around? 

We've both been here before, 

Yeah, we've both been here 

Maybe we should just be love pretenders 

Baby, we don't need these scars 

Never gonna let my heart surrender 

I'm afraid to fall too hard 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe 

Love takes a heart brave enough to play 

Maybe we should just be love pretenders 

Baby, we don't need these scars 

Never gonna let my heart surrender 

I'm afraid to fall too hard 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 

Love pretenders 

Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe 

Love takes a heart brave enough to break
