Better If I Just Pretend Lyrics by Crawlers

The Mess We Seem To Make

2024

[Verse 1]
Exploiting my sadness
Grieving someone still alive
I know why I'm like this
Because a part of me died
When I left you
When I lost me
When I trusted you just because you were lonely
We have history
So you're owed all of me
[Chorus]
Now I've been
Smoking a lot with your friends
I think it's
Better if I just pretend
[Post-Chorus]
Better if I just pretend
Better If I just pretend
[Verse 2]
I'm a stranger on your polaroids
And you started a wildfirе on our memories
You left a trail of pеsticide and seemed
To poison all your company
Your garden never grows
It's something I now know
While I watch us decompose and fertilise whoever's close
To wherever you are now
And the lies from your mouth
[Chorus]
Now I've been
Smoking a lot with your friends
I think it's
Better if I just pretend
That we're cool
Carrying the string of ghosts from what we had now
We were friends but
It's better if I just pretend
[Post-Chorus]
Better if I just pretend
Better if I just pretend
(Better if I just pretend)
[Chorus]
Now I've been
Smoking a lot with your friends
I think it's
Better if I just pretend
You're anxiously attached, scared you'd light the match (That we're cool)
Friends don't kiss and tell, and you know that a little well (Carrying the string of ghosts from what we had now)
In your boyfriend's shirt, don't you think it hurt? (We were friends but)
Does he know about the cheating? But I didn't tell, is that worse? (It's better if I just pretend)
When I left you
When I lost me (Better if I just pretend)
When I trusted you just because you were lonely
When I left you
When I lost me (Better if I just pretend)
And I trusted you and now I still feel guilty
