Lyrics
Find another songDon't think that this will be fine
Don't think that this will end well
Don't think that this will be fine
Don't think that this will end well
Call it off many times
I've said it once, I've said it over
At this point, no one can say I never told you
People talk, they feel the same, we hate to know you
What is it I saw in you that pulled me under?
Many times, many ways
Many games, many lies
What you say?
How you move?
Shit you do don't align
Many nights turn to days
I'm surprised you're not tired
Many times, many ways
Many games, many lies
Nothing's real
There's one thing I know about you
You're using me
Here's one thing I know about you
You're playing pretend
Pretend
You're playing pretend
Pretend
You never should have gone behind me
You always knew my heart was kind
Man, I wish somebody warned me
I always would have seen this side of you
Using me
Here's one thing I know about you
Nothing's real
If there's one thing I know about you
You're playing pretend
Pretend
You're playing pretend
Pretend
Now I'm done, I'm too good for this
That's enough, no, it doesn't make sense
I'm not like you, no, I can't pretend
You're playing pretend
Pretend
You're playing pretend
Pretend
Stop playing pretend
Pretend
Pretend
Stop playing pretend
