Pretend

Sometimes I wish that we could all forget Your figure fades into a silhouette But I hear you breathing I'm done believing We're painting portraits but the canvas is blank If this life is a gift then who do we pay? You're desperate for the answer It eats at you like cancer Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend? We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again Your head is filled with unproven thoughts Twisting theories into bigger knots And I feel you dreaming You're done believing Tried to avoid this but I'm weak to the bone My inner compass points me to the unknown But I still keep running faster Yea, someday I'll find the answer Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend? We'll paint the walls instead and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend We'll paint the walls instead, and I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again I wanted to know you Though I still don't know myself I've got so much to show you Won't you show me the way? (yea) Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend? I don't want this to end so I'll pretend, pretend, pretend again Ooh, pretend, pretend, pretend Tonight won't ever end; can we pretend, pretend, pretend instead? Lights turned low Lights turned low 'cause I don't wanna see this go So can I just pretend, pretend, pretend instead?
