[Intro]
Don’t think that this will be fine
Don’t think that this will end well
Don’t think that this will be fine
Don’t think that this will end well

[Verse 1]
Call it off many times
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it over
At this point, no one can say I never told you
People talk, they feel the same, we hate to know ya
What is it I saw in you that pulled me under?

Many times, many ways, many games, many lies
What you say, how you move, s*it you do don’t align
Many nights turn to days, I’m surprised you’re not tired
Many times, many ways, many games, many lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing’s real
There’s one thing I know about you
You’re using me
Hеre’s one thing I know about you

[Chorus]
You’re playing prеtend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)
You’re playing pretend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)

[Verse 2]
You never should have gone behind me
You always knew my heart was kind
Man, I wish somebody warned me
I always would have seen this side of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Using me

Here’s one thing I know about you
Nothing’s real
If there’s one thing I know about you

[Chorus]
You’re playing pretend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)
You’re playing pretend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)

[Bridge]
Now I’m done, I’m too good for this
That’s enough, no, it doesn’t make sense
I’m not like you, no, I can’t pretend

[Chorus]
You’re playing pretend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)
You’re playing pretend (You’re playing)
Pretend (You’re playing)

[Post-Chorus]
Stop playing pretend
Pretend
Pretend
Stop playing pretend
