Pretend Lyrics by Colbie Caillat

Along the Way

2023

[Verse 1]
Let's pretend we never broke up
Pretend we didn't do it all wrong
Let's act as if we didn't quit
And when it got hard, we held on
Let's pretend you gave me your all
Pretend I didn't need more
And that we're still sittin' in a countryside kitchen
Red dog sleepin' on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess I still got some feelings
Honey, do you feel like dreaming?

[Chorus]
Of that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend

[Verse 2]
Let's pretend you opened up
Pretend I didn't shut down
'Cause I can't pretend that it don't hurt
And that I don't miss you now

[Chorus]
And that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
Ooh, yeah
(Ooh)

[Bridge]
Do you feel like playing along?
Like goin' back before you were gone

[Chorus]
To that first summer night in the back of your truck
Kissin' in the moonlight, stars above
Dancin' in a field with the radio on
The moment we found our favorite song
Burnin' like a fire that would never go out
Heartache wasn't somethin' we were thinkin' about
That forever kind of feeling that we found back then
Was love, it wasn't pretend

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no
It was love

[Outro]
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love, it was love back then
It was love
