Lyrics I'd Rather Pretend - Bryant Barnes

Love, guess you found a way to get through
Got so used to feeling nothing at all for so long
No, now all I want to do is love you
But my head is holding up my heart, my heart

And I've seen all the signs
What if they're all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

Tell me, is this real to you?
'Cause I can feel my heart again
You're so tempting, but I'm scared
So I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do
'Cause I don't wanna hurt again
I wanna love you, but I'm scared
So I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend
I'd rather pretend, oh, oh

What if I'm at a loss
Hoping you'll come back to me when you're gone?
There's so many ways I've seen this going wrong
So many ways I've seen this fall apart

'Cause I've seen all the signs
What if they're all lies?
Will it even matter what you say?
Can you make these feelings go away?

Tell me, is this real to you?
'Cause I can feel my heart again
You're so tempting, but I'm scared
So I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do
'Cause I don't wanna hurt again
I wanna love you, but I'm scared
So I'd rather pretend

(I'd rather pretend)
(I'd rather pretend, oh, oh)
