Pretend Lyrics by Emmi Elliott

Spring Summer 2020

2020

Standing alone in a crowded room
Coffee in Brooklyn, Graham Avenue
Eight million people I never knew
But I never felt more lonely than when I'm with you

Greeted with the warmth of a stranger's smile
Haven't been noticed like that in a while
Eight million people I never knew
But I never felt more lonely than when I'm with you

So I'm gonna pretend
You love me just the way that I am
So I'm gonna pretend
That you don't edit me in your head
Let's make believe that you and me could even be reality
So I'm gonna pretend
Let's just pretend

Played you the songs that made me cry
You laughed it off as a waste of time
But there in my dreams you just sang with me
We keep telling each other that it's meant to be
So why do I feel lonely when you're next to me?

So I'm gonna pretend
You love me just the way that I am
So I'm gonna pretend
That you don't edit me in your head
Let's make believe that you and me could even be reality
So I'm gonna pretend
Let's just pretend

Let's just, let's just pretend
Let's just, let's just pretend
It's not just in my head
Is it just in my head?
Let's make believe that you and me could even be reality
So I'm gonna pretend
Let's just pretend

Calling me pretty on the silver screen that I lived in
Nothing's as you think it is when you pull back the curtain
Who you fell in love with
Is a different person
And I can't even try to play the part

So I'm gonna pretend
You love me just the way that I am
So I'm gonna pretend
That you don't edit me in your head
Let's make believe that you and me could even be reality
So I'm gonna pretend
Let's just pretend
