Let's say that was then here we go again
All our friends are filling the room, it's like a play
And the words that I'll say are not for you
They're for that costume, giving you hope
That when they pull the rope
It's on a happy ending but baby, I'm pretending
Isn't it hard? The windows are barred
But you can't let go and can?t hold onto
Anything sure that's attached and secure
Looking for a lifeline online something to show
That I really do know
So that file I'm sending but baby, I?m pretending
Baby, I'm pretending even though I know better
But I can?t refuse 'cause, although on a ruse
You?ve come to me depending, baby, I'm pretending
Baby, I'm pretending, baby, I'm pretending
