TRY AND PRETEND
TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE SCARED YOU SAY
DO YOU THINK THAT WE CAN BE
THESE PEOPLE WHO LOSE EVERYTHING AND
DON'T FORGET
PRETEND YOU'RE SCARED
PRETEND IT WELL

I'M FINALLY AT THE PLACE I'M STAYING
I FINALLY HAVE A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
I'M TRYING NOT TO LOSE MY REASONS
I'M PLANNING TO REMEMBER ALL I KNOW
YOU KNOW IF I LOSE MY FEAR IT COMES BACK
I HOPE HE KNOWS I TRIED

TRY AND PRETEND
TO ERASE THE PAST FIVE YEARS YOU'VE LIVED
DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE THE SAME
WOULD YOU MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES OR
WOULD YOU LEARN
BUT THEN YOU LOSE
SO WHAT FOR YOU?

DO YOU THINK WE COULD BE
THE KIND THAT TAKE EVERYTHING
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHAT WE SAY
YOU KNOW WE MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
CAUSE THE ONES THAT REALLY GOT US HERE
AND NOW DON'T YOU THINK THAT WE WOULD CHANGE
WE ALWAYS MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
THE ONES WIN
THEY RUN THIS WAY
