I’d Rather Pretend Lyrics – Bryant Barnes
And I’ve Seen All The Signs (I’ve Seen All The Signs)
What If They’re All Lies? (What If They’re All Lies?)
Will It Even Matter What You Say? (Say)
Can You Make These Feelings Go Away?
Tell Me, Is This Real To You?
Cause I Can Feel My Heart Again
You’re So Tempting But I’m Scared So I’d Rather Pretend
That I Don’t Love You Like I Do
Cause I Don’t Wanna Hurt Again
I Wanna Love You But I’m Scared So I’d Rather Pretend
I’d Rather Pretend
I’d Rather Pretend, Oh-oh, Oh-oh
You Can Tell Me Anything, You Can Tell Me
Still, I’d Give You Everything
Why’d You Let Me Put You On A Pedestal?
I Put You High On Top (High)
I Gave It All For You To Fall, Let Me Be Honest, I Know
I Know We Both Let Go
You Fake Your Love, I Still Want More
It Doesn’t Even Matter What I Say
I’ll Never Make These Feelings Go Away
Tell Me, Is This Real To You?
Cause I Can Feel My Heart Again
You’re So Tempting, But I’m Scared So I’d Rather Pretend
That I Don’t Love You Like I Do
Cause I Don’t Wanna Hurt Again
I Wanna Love You But I’m Scared So I’d Rather Pretend
I’d Rather Pretend
I’d Rather Pretend, Oh-oh, Oh-oh
