lyrics

I tried to pretend
that I didn't know her
I tried to pretend that I didn't understand
I tried to play games
I tried to forget her name
I tried to ignore her when she called
I tried to not think of her at all

But I can't pretend
No, I can't pretend, no
I don't want to pretend
I don't want to pretend, no
I can't act like I don't like you
I can't act like I'm not your friend
I don't want to play games
I can't act like I forgot your name
I can't play games and I don't want to pretend
I don't want to act like I don't understand

I don't want to pretend, no
I don't want to pretend, no
I don't want to pretend
