Pretending
Alec Benjamin
[Verse 1]
In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart, with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away
There's nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now cause he's leaving

[Chorus]
But she'd be fine pretending
Things were alright, even while its ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
But she can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
But she'd be fine prete (eh) x10 (she'd be fine)
[Verse 2]
Step into the light, to look him in the eye
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed
But every little fight and every little lie is impossible to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
He knows that there're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now cause he's leaving

[Chorus]
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while its ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
But she can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
But she'd be fine prete (eh) x10 (she'd be fine)

[Bridge]
I hate to watch her hurt, I know it isn't right
But she can find the courage to leave it all behind
I wish I had the words to help her realize
That there is just no way to bring this back to life
He knows that they're drowning
[Chorus]
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while its ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All the words are empty when she denies
But she can feel them bending all their love is pending so what is
She defending
But she'd be fine prete (eh) x10
She'd be fine
