Pretend - Patrick Jørgensen

I tend to pretend to be victim of powerful sins

When the story begins with the both of us wanting to fly

We both jump across, spread out our wings

Jump off a cliff just to escape certain things

And the things that we escape are the things that are making us take all the

chances we taking

When making decisions we choosing to play

And it’s all fun and games to the games have been played

No cards in this game so we play it like chess

Straight from the heart but I aim for your chest

Go for the bruises that burn on the left

Side of my cage

Practice the lines

Rip it in half

Tear it on stage

Wake up in sweat

Don’t leave me like this

Alone in regret

And we both falling into believing the things

That we do it occurs that we both in this thing 'cause

Non of us keen to be seen and frustration builds up

Jump to conclusion, making up things

Dying to know how you been, what you done

Wanted to call when the silence said ring

Find no solution, there’s hope in the sting

And if this is you out, you left a few things

Like a toothbrush standing by the sink

Only thing I got in the color of pink

Well on my way and I paint what I think

Find a way to tell you here is the thing

I’m falling in to believing the things it occurred wasn’t me

But we both had a part in the mess that we made

And it can’t be undone, but it needs to be said

I’m stronger now than I have been

I can’t do more than I have done

I can’t sit here and just pretend

Like I can make it good again

I’m stronger now than I have been

I can’t sit here and just pretend

Like everything is happening

For reasons that I can’t explain

Love don’t need reason, love don’t make sense

It’s a feeling inside of your chest

And the feeling that you’re feeling when you’re dealing with the stress

It’s a feeling that you’re fearing 'cause the feeling’s so intense

It takes up your time, and it drives your expense

It costs me so much just letting you in

I don’t know if I can afford to do that again

Some days I miss you less, some days I miss you more

Sometimes I punch the wall, not knowing what it’s for

Embrace all the facts and your heading for the runway

Never gonna claim that I stood as any gateway

But I like to think that I stand and stood

And served as a person who inspired you

Regardless of events in the past I got one thing to say, I admire you

And I like to think that I showed you guts

Hope I gave you all the confidence

That you needed to go on and live your dream

I know it’s crazy and it might seem

Like I’m making this into one big scene

You’re beautiful to me, but truth be told

I get derailed by the details I see

I say it with heart you inspire me

And my passion says you deserve it all

My conscience told me to make the call

But I made a song just to show you what

Kinda wave length I’m floating on

And I don’t know if you’d wish me well

If I was laying in the bottom of a wishing well

I hope you get this, and if we never meet

Just know I wish you well

I’m stronger now than I have been

I can’t do more than I have done

I can’t sit here and just pretend

Like I can make it good again

I’m stronger now than I have been

I can’t sit here and just pretend

Like everything is happening

For reasons that I can’t explain
