Don’t Wanna Pretend Lyrics by Shantel May

Don’t Let Them See You

2020

[Intro]
Oh-ohh
I gotta say, mm
[Verse 1]
If it's magic, why can't it be everlasting?
If it's feelings involved, then how can we keep them from clashing?
I know that it's hard to draw lines
When we've blurred them so many times, boy
[Refrain]
Like your heart that's in my hands
Hold me tightly when you can
Don't contemplate on revenge
Where do we go to just refresh?
[Chorus]
We could keep this up but I just don't wanna pretend
How do we cut off the benefits, but still remainin' friends?
Oh-oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna take you where I'm goin' through (Don't know what you gonna do)
And I can see it in you as it hurts me, what we goin' through (I know what you'rе goin' through)
[Verse 2]
If it's worth it, then naturally, it will resurface
Gotta nurturе something so pure, then to hurt it
[Refrain]
Like your heart that's in my hands
Hold me tightly when you can
Don't contemplate on revenge
Where do we go to just refresh?
[Chorus]
We could keep this up but I just don't wanna pretend, baby
How do we cut off the benefits, but still remainin' friends?
Oh-oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna take you where I'm goin' through (Don't know what you gonna do)
And I can see it in you as it hurts me, what we goin' through
[Bridge]
I spoke and you folded, on to the wishin', wish you well
On to the let's just be friends and nothin' else
Baby, this important
You know my heart can't be extorted or exploited
[Chorus]
We could keep this up but I just don't wanna pretend (I don't wanna pretend)
How do we cut off the benefits, but still remainin' friends? (How do we, how do we?)
Oh-oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna take you where I'm goin' through (Don't know what you gonna do)
And I can see it in you as it hurts me, what we goin' through (I know what you're goin' through)
[Outro]
I heal, I'm broken
I heal, I'm broken
I heal, I'm broken
I heal, I'm broken
I heal, I'm broken
I heal, I'm broken
