Pretending by Elle Coles Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2019

Cherry red lips
Gold paint on my finger tips
Tell me it’s worth it these
Precious tears

Sunday morning
Wrapped up warm and the day is dawning
But can we make it ‘till
The sun goes down?

And as the nights get colder
My eyes get older
And these twisted words
Start to make more sense

It’s like a rainbows ending
And we are still pretending
That there’s gold at the end of the line

So open up your fairy stories
And let the words fall out
Familiar faces and far off places
Too real for you to doubt
But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending
And we’re perfectly fine
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life

Pretty photographs
Chopped and changed so they're not the same
Tell me it’s worth it
This hollow pain

Monday morning
Ready for work and the day is dawning
But can I make it
Back home again?

And if I’m not myself today
Just ignore me
I’ll be okay
It’s like a rainstorms ending -
Flowers will grow from my pretending

So open up your fairy stories
And let the words fall out
Familiar faces and far off places
Too real for you to doubt
But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending
And we’re perfectly fine
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life

Oh, we’re only pretending, hey, yeah,yeah
So I’m gonna hold my breath
‘Till the music ends
But it’s all pretend

But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending
And we’re perfectly fine
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life

And in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending
And we’re perfectly fine
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life
And if my heart keeps insisting on beating
Then I will be believing in another time

And if the world keeps insisting on turning
Then I will keep on yearning for another life
