​pretend Lyrics by helloworld

clouds in my basement

2022

[Verse 1]
So far away from it all
Can’t feel my face anymore
Want someone to numb all the pain
‘Cause I can’t take it away
So far away from it all
Can’t say I’ve been here before
So empty, I hate it
I’m sick of not feeling nothing

[Chorus]
So where do we go
When we feel so alone
And we can’t do a thing about it?
About it?

[Pre-Drop]
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend

[Drop]
And in my head I’m running circles again
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend, oh
I’ve been spending too much time on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
You can see it in my face though
You solved the mystery once again, oh no (Sheesh)
I know we had this conversation a bit ago (Mmm-hmm)
So don’t you know
I’ve been sitting at home watching the paint dry
Kinda wishing you’d come over and say hi
And save my life (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah)
I’m just hoping that you’d try

[Chorus]
So where do we go
When we feel so alone
And we can’t do a thing about it?
About it?

[Pre-Drop]
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend

[Drop]
And in my head I’m running circles again
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend (I can't pretend, I can't pretend)
I’ve been spending too much time on the edge
Yeah (Yeah)

[Bridge]
Tired of staying up past midnight
Scrolling through your good times
If only I had mine
Lazy, watching too much TV
Wishing someone missed me
Tired of staying up past midnight
Scrolling through your good times
If only I had mine
Lazy, watching too much TV
Wishing someone missed me

[Pre-Drop]
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend

[Drop]
And in my head I’m running circles again
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend
I’ve been spending too much time on the edge
I’m done faking it, I can’t pretend
