歌詞

Didn’t expect

To see you here

You said my name

Like nothing changed

Like midnight never

Left a trace

Your coat brushed mine

We stepped aside

Too careful

With our eyes

The room was loud

But we stayed still

Like silence

Was a skill

We smiled soft

We kept it light

Like we were never

Alone that night

When we pretend

It almost works

Like nothing lives

Beneath the words

When we pretend

We’re doing fine

Like we don’t cross

That hidden line

When we pretend

It feels so clean

But not as real

As what we’ve been

Someone asked

If we were friends

You laughed and said

“Of course we are.”

I watched the way

You held your glass

Like steady hands

Could hide the past

You didn’t stay

But didn’t rush

Just close enough

To almost touch

If anyone

Looked too long

They might see

Something wrong

When we pretend

The air goes thin

Like we both know

Where we’ve been

When we pretend

It keeps us safe

But not the way

Your silence aches

You left first

I stayed behind

Counting seconds

In my mind

The door shut soft

No scene, no sound

But everything

Shifted around

When we pretend

We hold it tight

Like daylight

Erases night

When we pretend

We don’t recall

The engine running

After it all

When we pretend

We walk away

Like we weren’t

Almost yesterday

We’re good at pretending
