Orla Gartland - Pretending Lyrics

I saw the face in the window
Lighting up a cigarette
Smokey brown eyeshadow
I learnt it from a woman on the internet

Oh, how the hell have you been babe?
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup
Sip it up, up, right to your head

All the people over there
They don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self aware it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night

I'm done pretending, pretending
Done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
One pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be? To be? To be? To be? To be?

I lied about liking your dress
I lied about sticking around
I lied about knowing the band that you talked and talked all night about

So take it up with the jury
'Cause I don't really care anymore
And if you listen real close you might just hear the penny drop on the floor

All the people over there
They don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self aware it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night

I'm done pretending, pretending
Done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
One pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be? To be? To be? To be? To be?

Am I the only one pretending?
Pretending, one pretending
Am I the only one pretending? (Leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending
Am I the only one pretending? (I wanna go home)
Pretending, one pretending
Am I the only one pretending? (Leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending
Am I the only one pretending? (I wanna go home)
Pretending, one pretending
Pretending
