Pretending Lyrics by Ryan Beatty

Because of You EP

0

Time, Time is what you said that you were needing
Away from me, But I
I guess that I was too far in the distance to even see
That things between us now, just haven’t quite been the same
Can we figure out which one of us is to blame
Cuz I can't go on
And Ohh
Why are we pretending
Why are we just wasting time
On a love that isn’t real
Because if you don’t want me, You should just tell me now
So I can save these tears
You, You said that you would never ever hurt me
But I guess that was a lie
Cuz its killing me to watch you stay when I
I know this is goodbye
Its hard for me to think that maybe this is the end
You were my heart, baby you were my best friend
But we can't go on
And Ohh
Why are we pretending
Why are we just wasting time
On a love that isn’t real
Because if you don’t want me, You should just tell me now
So I can save these tears
We try to make it work but we just can’t make it last
We need to move on, stop living in the past
And I don’t even know how our love got so strange
It’s not the same
And Ohh
Why are we pretending
Why are we just wasting time
On a love that isn’t real
Because if you don’t want me, You should just tell me now
So I can save these tears
Let me save these tears
