Pretend

I know what I am to you

I've tried to let it be what it is

Whenever you walk in the room

I'm helpless

My efforts, they might be in vain

I don't wanna leave it unsaid

Baby, I just can't complain

When I'm laying next to you in this bed

So kiss me like you need me

Hold me like you want me to stay for a while

Oh, I know I ain't him

But baby, please just try

If time's what you need

Then time's what you'll get

To get him out of your head

If you can't fall in love with me

Then we can pretend

Oh, I'll help you pick up the pieces

Of whatever's left of your heart

And hope there's room for me in

Some corner tucked away in the dark

So kiss me like you need me

Hold me like you want me to stay for a while

Oh, I know I ain't him

But baby, please just try

If time's what you need

Then time's what you'll get

To get him out of your head

If you can't fall in love with me

Then we can pretend

You're on the fence

And I'm sure there is

Only two ways this could end

So I'll hold on to hoping

That your eyes are closing

But I'm the one you see instead

So kiss me like you need me

Hold me like you want me to stay for a while

Oh, I know I ain't him

But baby, please just try

And oh, if time's what you need

Then time's what you'll get

To get him out of your head

If you can't fall in love with me

Then we can pretend

We can pretend
