Pretending Lyrics by Amanda Paterson

I’m A Runaway

2019

You said that you can't love me
That you can't love a wild one
We're walking in the city
Mist underneath these street lights
I thought you'd always need me
I know we started just for fun
You say that I'm your best friend
But you can't love a wild one
Why are we pretending?
This feeling is so real
Why are we pretending?
This love is too real
I dare you to look back
At all we had
And let yourself go
Don't dare forget the past
Just take a chance
And let yourself go
You can't ignore a challenge
I like to challenge every code
We're always on to something
Making the rules as we go
You know all of my secrets
I know your fear is what makes you strong
Our story is picture perfect
Deep down you know I'm not wrong
Why are we pretending?
This feeling is so real
Why are we pretending?
This love is too real
I dare you to look back
At all we had
And let yourself go
Don't dare forget the past
Just take a chance
And let yourself go
