You’ve given this pain such a beautiful name
That burns each time it leaves my tongue
Usually I don’t feel this ashamed
But when I see your face
The guilt begins to fill my lungs
I know this won’t get less difficult for me
If I don’t trust anyone
But if it’s this difficult it must mean
You’re not just anyone
I cannot pretend that I don’t care about you
I cannot pretend that I don’t care if I do
I’m begging not to know what you’re up to now
I’m playing pretend to not let my guard down, baby
I cannot pretend that I don’t care about you
And you said you’ve heard I haven’t changed
Regardless of my shame
Set fire to my pride for fun
No relations; situations is all I do
But I know that I must grow to be loved
Before I love someone
I know this won’t get less difficult for me
If I don’t trust anyone
But if it’s this difficult it must mean
You’re not just anyone
You’re not just anyone
I cannot pretend that I don’t care about you
I cannot pretend that I don’t care if I do
I’m begging not to know what you’re up to now
I’m playing pretend to not let my guard down, baby
I cannot pretend that I don’t care about you
[I cannot, I cannot pretend
[I cannot, I cannot pretend
I cannot pretend that I don’t care about you, yeah
