Pretending by Michal Leah

I'm not who you thought I was
But you’re not who you said you were
And I wanna be there for you
But you gotta invite me first

In the back of the party I tripped in your high heeled shoes
I think this is the part where I slip up and I tell you

I miss pretending that I’m good for you
Wish you’d keep lying like you used to do
I miss believing I’m supposed to be better beside you
But now that we're ending
I'll miss pretending, cause I miss you

I'm sorry I tried so hard
Poked holes in your heart shaped box
I wanted to play the part but all I did was fall apart
I wish I wasn’t hard to love
Cause loves hard enough

In the back of the party I tripped in your high heeled shoes
I think this is the part where I slip up and I tell you

I miss pretending that I’m good for you
Wish you’d keep lying like you used to do
I miss believing I’m supposed to be better beside you
But now that we're ending
I'll miss pretending, cause I miss you
