Pretend Lyrics by Patrick Jørgensen

Lifeline

2017

[Intro]
I can't do more than I have done...

[Verse 1]
I tend to pretend to be victim of powerful sins
When the story begins with the both of us wanting to fly
We both jump across, spread out our wings
Jump off a cliff just to escape certain things
And the things that we escape are the things that are making us take all the chances we taking
When making decisions we choosing to play
And it's all fun and games to the games have been played
No cards in this game so we play it like chess
Straight from the heart but I aim for your chest
Go for the bruises that burn on the left
Side of my cage
Practice the lines
Rip it in half
Tear it on stage
Wake up in sweat
Don't leave me like this
Alone in regret
And we both falling into believing the things
That we do it occurs that we both in this thing 'cause
Non of us keen to be seen and frustration builds up
Jump to conclusion, making up things
Dying to know how you been, what you done
Wanted to call when the silence said ring
Find no solution, there's hope in the sting
And if this is you out, you left a few things
Like a toothbrush standing by the sink
Only thing I got in the color of pink
Well on my way and I paint what I think
Find a way to tell you here is the thing
I'm falling in to believing the things it occurred wasn't me
But we both had a part in the mess that we made
And it can't be undone, but it needs to be said

[Chorus]
I'm stronger now than I have been
I can't do more than I have done
I can't sit here and just pretend
Like I can make it good again
I'm stronger now than I have been
I can't sit here and just pretend
Like everything is happening
For reasons that I can't explain

[Verse 2]
Love don't need reason, love don't make sense
It's a feeling inside of your chest
And the feeling that you're feeling when you're dealing with the stress
It's a feeling that you're fearing 'cause the feeling's so intense
It takes up your time, and it drives your expense
It costs me so much just letting you in
I don't know if I can afford to do that again
Some days I miss you less, some days I miss you more
Sometimes I punch the wall, not knowing what it's for
Embrace all the facts and your heading for the runway
Never gonna claim that I stood as any gateway
But I like to think that I stand and stood
And served as a person who inspired you
Regardless of events in the past I got one thing to say, I admire you
And I like to think that I showed you guts
Hope I gave you all the confidence
That you needed to go on and live your dream
I know it's crazy and it might seem
Like I'm making this into one big scene
You're beautiful to me, but truth be told
I get derailed by the details I see
I say it with heart you inspire me
And my passion says you deserve it all
My conscience told me to make the call
But I made a song just to show you what
Kinda wave length I'm floating on
And I don't know if you'd wish me well
If I was laying in the bottom of a wishing well
I hope you get this, and if we never meet
Just know I wish you well

[Chorus]
I'm stronger now than I have been
I can't do more than I have done
I can't sit here and just pretend
Like I can make it good again
I'm stronger now than I have been
I can't sit here and just pretend
Like everything is happening
For reasons that I can't explain
