Pretending Lyrics by HIM (FIN)

XX - Two Decades of Love Metal

2001

[Intro]
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey
My darling
We are not the ones to blame

[Verse 1]
"Trust" is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls
My darling
We are not the ones to blame
The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts
My baby
It always ends up in tears...

[Chorus]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So, keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Verse 2]
When doubts arise, the game begins
The one we will never win
My baby
It always ends up in tears

[Chorus]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So, keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, come on

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So, keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Outro]
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey
My darling
We are not the ones to blame
