Pretender Lyrics

I can never see your face inside my head,
I see your eyes instead.
And when the nights are cool,
I wish the summer wouldn't end.
You're more than just another friend.

And this might never work out,
But it's alright to feel like getting hurt.
What a beautiful way to hurt.
You're so far out of my league,
I can't see why you're here with me
Pretend that you don't have to leave.

I haven't slept in days,
And you ask me do I really care,
I'll sit you down and count the ways.
There's a fired clock
Above your sweet little head
The winter might just leave me dead.

This might never work out,
But it's alright to feel like getting hurt.
What a beautiful way to hurt.
You're so far out of my league,
I can't see why you're here with me
Pretend that you don't have to leave.

I can never see your face inside my head,
I see your eyes instead.
And when the nights are cool,
I wish the summer wouldn't end.
You're more than just another friend.

This might never work out,
But it's alright to feel like getting hurt.
What a beautiful way to hurt.
You're so far out of my league,
I can't see why you're here with me
Pretend that you don't have to leave.
