When I Pretend Lyrics by EchoSociety

Routines

2023

[VERSE]

Part of me breaks every time I see faces that I don't want on my mind
Time speeds up pace and the seasons go racing
I'm tired of saying goodbye
I don't want to talk or answer your questions
I'm sick of this process of learning my lessons alone and prone
It's all that I know, I'm waiting for answers or some kind control

[Chorus]

When I pretend everything goes away
When I stand still living day by day, day

[VERSE]

Denying and hiding and dividing pride is the way you lose your life
I can say I tried but I couldn't quite decide priorities that I hold high
No one in the world, no one in the placе
I'm singing this song to the wall, to my face
It's not me, not you, but all solitudе
I need space

[Chorus]

If I pretend everything goes away
When I close my eyes, nobody sees me cry

[OUTRO]

Open eyes from a dream
I don't see you, it's only me
I don't know why I could lie
I need dreams that make me high
Put pressure on a beating heart to feel the pain commitment starts
I wish I could've dealt with things so casually and fearlessly
It's hard to know you'll think of me as someone who could never be a winner but a fire starter
I'm ready to go back to sleep
