Stop Pretending

I'm pushing forward

Trying to find myself again

I've stopped pretending I was smarter, then

Whatever brought me back

The lies all fade away

They don't show the way

Anymore

(So I don't pretend we're equal)

We are not keeping scores

I'm pushing forward

Trying to show you how I feel about you

I always took the time to lie to myself

When I have stopped pretending who I am, who I tried to be

I always took the place of someone better than me

But then I realised that we are all just lost at sea

So stop pretending

I lied to myself

When I have stopped insisting who I am, who I tried to be

So I stopped pretending

Whatever brought me back

The lies all fade away

By the way

I love you still

(You are) so pretentious

(You are) so defeatist

(You are) so neurotic

(You are) so impatient

(You are) like a membrane

(You are) breaking slowly

(You are) only human

(You are) ready to go back

I love you more than you can see

Love is crazy

I want you maybe

But I don't care at all about my feelings for you

I want to make you

I want to leave you

Whole

It's sad, but don't you worry, I'm not careful, anyway

The sun is setting down, so I'll make sure you'll go insane, then

I lied to you

When I have stopped insisting who I am, who I tried to be

I always thought that

You are so much better than me

But then I realised that we are all just lost at sea

So stop pretending

Love you take

Is the love that you receive

That you receive
