Pretending tomorrow
We'll both be different
Changed from who we are today
Actually want me to be happy
Stop clutching onto each word you say
Pretending habits don't have the best of us
We're content with a life of sobriety
Like the sound of that idea
Wish it was that easy
Pretending a wish or two comes true
The floor tossed into a pile
Like eachother but not all the time
Wish for me to smile
Pretending we can build home like before
Set against a sky of gold
Magically capable of exploring possible futures
Every desire taking hold
Pretending we will find salvation
Life just one cruel joke
Silhouettes waiting for goodbye long overdue
Death to claim what life broke
Pretending every day to try my hardest
Both know my love is a sham
Want to be a better person for you
That's just not who I am

Pretending tomorrow
We'll both be different
Changed from who we are today

Stop clutching onto each word you say
Pretending habits don't have the best of us
We're content with a life of sobriety

Wish it was that easy
Pretending a wish or two comes true
The floor tossed into a pile

Pretending we can build home like before
Set against a sky of gold
Magically capable of exploring possible futures
Every desire taking hold
Pretending we will find salvation
Life just one cruel joke
Silhouettes waiting for goodbye long overdue
Death to claim what life broke
Pretending every day to try my hardest
Both know my love is a sham
Want to be a better person for you
That's just not who I am
