[Verse 1]

Love

Guess you found a way to get through

Got so used to feelin' nothin' at all

For so long, no

Now all I wanna do is love you

But my head is holdin' up my heart

My heart

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've seen all the signs

What if they're all lies?

Will it even matter what you say?

Can you make these feelings go away?

[Chorus]

Tell me, is this real to you?

'Cause I can feel my heart again

You're so tempting

But I'm scared, so I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do

'Cause I don't wanna hurt again

I wanna love you

But I'm scared, so I'd rather pretend

[Post-Chorus]

I'd rather pretend

I'd rather pretend, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

What if I'm at a loss

Hoping you'll come back to me when you're gone?

There's so many ways I've seen this goin' wrong

So many ways I've seen this fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've seen all the signs

What if they're all lies?

Will it even matter what you say?

Can you make these feelings go away?

[Chorus]

Tell me, is this real to you?

'Cause I can feel my heart again

You're so tempting

But I'm scared, so I'd rather pretend

That I don't love you like I do

'Cause I don't wanna hurt again

I wanna love you

But I'm scared, so I'd rather pretend

[Post-Chorus]

(I'd rather pretend)

(I'd rather pretend, oh, oh)
