Quinten Coblentz
Pretend
[Verse 1]
What did you think would happen this time?
What did you say, where you catching my vibe?
Been through it all, and I wish I knew why
We playin’ pretend when our hearts are on fire

[Pre-Chorus]
You done messed me up one time
Follow me into the night
Take back all the things you tried
Are you sick of hearing your own lies?
You done messed me up two time
Follow me into the night
Take back all the things you tried, things you tried

[Pre-Hook]
You told me to hold on again
There’s more to this than all that’s been inside my head
You told me to hold on again

[HOOK]
But that would be pretend
Can’t do that again

[Verse 2]
Terrified of my mind, what it does to me
I wear this pain like it’s jewelry
My guard, my restriction, my hidden affliction
Motivated, faith driven
‘Cause you know I’m off limits
You had 22 wishes
Eye contact, kisses (x2)
[Pre-Chorus]
But you done messed me up one time
Follow me into the night
Take back all the things you tried
Are you sick of hearing your own lies?
You done messed me up two time
Follow me into the night
Take back all the things you tried, things you tried

[Pre-Hook]
You told me to hold on again
There’s more to this than all that’s been inside my head
You told me to hold on again

[HOOK]
But that would be pretend
Can’t do that again

[Bridge]
What’s your motive?
We make all these choices, but never feel chosen
Hey! La la la la la la
What did you think would happen this time? (x2)

[Hook]
That would be pretend
Can't do that again
