Tarquin Alexandra Pretend Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been ignoring the muscle aches
Back since that god awful day
I've been lost since she left
There's no map, nothing to navigate
Does history have to repeat itself?
My mind's set on changing the fates
But every conclusion I come to
Yeah every new person I run to
It's always this haze
Of feeling insane
And finding new ways to numb the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll pile my feelings up in boxes
Send them out to Timbuktu
Now there's nothing detrimental
Fogging up my point of view

[Chorus]
So I'll strum out my soul with these words
To make life feel more bearable
Or socially shareable
To the tune of my tears turned to mute
Yeah I'll dance down the hall
Throw my pain down the chute
If we just play pretend ‘till the end when we wake up from this fantasy
Or we fall asleep
‘Till the next time…
We buy into these oversaturated dreams
[Verse 2]
You make it look like it's easy
I'm torn apart at the seams
Wake me up from this nightmare on loop, it's become a routine
I feel like I'm standing in quicksand
And my mind is just a machine
Cause every conclusion I come to
Yeah every new person I run to
It's always this haze of feeling insane
And finding new ways to numb the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll pile my feelings up in boxes
Send them out to Timbuktu
Now there's nothing detrimental
Fogging up my point of view

[Chorus]
So I'll strum out my soul with these words
To make life feel more bearable
Or socially shareable
To the tune of my tears turned to mute Yeah I'll dance down the hall
Throw my pain down the chute
If we just play pretend ‘till the end when we wake up from this fantasy
Or we fall asleep
‘Till the next time…
We buy into these oversaturated dreams
[Bridge]
I'm sick of repeating days
I'm sick of repeating fates
I'm sick of this haze that I've come to hate
I'm constantly going back
I'm sick of feeling under attack
I'm sick of repeating days
I'm sick of repeating fates
I'm sick of this haze that I've come to hate
I'm constantly going back
I'm sick of feeling under attack

[Chorus]
So I'll strum out my soul with these words
To make life feel more bearable
Or socially shareable
To the tune of my tears turned to mute
Yeah I'll dance down the hall
Throw my pain down the chute

So I'll strum out my soul with these words
To make life feel more bearable
Or socially shareable
To the tune of my tears turned to mute
Yeah I'll dance down the hall
Throw my pain down the chute
If we just play pretend ‘till the end when we wake up from this fantasy
Or we fall asleep
‘Till the next time…
We buy into these oversaturated dreams
So I'll strum out my soul with these words
To make life feel more bearable
Or socially shareable
To the tune of my tears turned to mute
Yeah I'll dance down the hall
Throw my pain down the chute
If we just play pretend ‘till the end when we wake up from this fantasy
Or we fall asleep
‘Till the next time…
We buy into these oversaturated dreams
