Maybe we should just be love pretenders
Cause baby we don't need these scars
Never gonna let my heart surrender
I'm afraid to fall too hard
I've dropped my soul down the darkest hole
And I can't find my way out
But I retrace the steps I take
And I try to figure out
Why do I do this to myself
Why do I let my guard down
Why do I just replay the past
Why do I let you come around
We've both been here before
Yeah, we've both been here
Maybe we should just be love pretenders
Baby, we don't need these scars
Never gonna let my heart surrender
I'm afraid to fall too hard
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
I'm optimistic, that if we risk it
We could work it out
But it's a gamble, when hearts get tangled
We could come unwound
Why do we do this to ourselves
When we need each other
Why don't we try to make this last
Why don't we try to stick around
We've both been here before
Yeah, we've both been here
Maybe we should just be love pretenders
Baby, we don't need these scars
Never gonna let my heart surrender
I'm afraid to fall too hard
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe
Love takes a heart brave enough to play
Maybe we should just be love pretenders
Baby, we don't need these scars
Never gonna let my heart surrender
I'm afraid to fall too hard
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Love pretenders
Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe
Love takes a heart brave enough to break
