Pretending

face to face and heart to heart
we're so close, yet so far apart
i close my eyes i look away
that's just because i'm not okay

but i hold on, i stay strong
wondering if we still belong

will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be pretending

how long do i fantasize
make believe that it's still alive
imagine that i am good enough
and we can choose the ones we love

but i hold on, i stay strong
wondering if we still belong

will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be

keeping secrets safe
every move we make
seems like no one's letting go
and it's such a shame
cause if you feel the same
how am i supposed to know

will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be (pretending)
will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be (pretending)
will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be pretending
