How many times must we tell the tale?

How many times must we fall?

Living in lost memory

You just recalled



Working on the sound of the band

Trying to get the music right

Two go out working

Three stay home at night



That's when she said she was pretending

Like she knew the plan

That's when I knew she was pretending

Pretending to understand

Pretending, pretending

Pretending, pretending



Satisfied but lost in love

Situations change

You're never who you used to think you are

How strange



Chorus



I get lost in alibis

Sadness can't prevail

Everybody knows strong love

Can't fail



Don't be pretending about how you feel

Don't be pretending that your love is real

Don't be pretending about how you feel

Don't be pretending that your love is real

Pretending, pretending

Pretending, pretending
