Ester Dean - Pretend

Lie (3x)
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

Seven thirty, riding early
Who would’ve ever thought I’d be hurting
When I’d seen you
Can’t believe that I’d seen you
First I told myself wait a minute
Calm yourself down
And give him the benefit of the doubt
That’s when he showed up

He was holding and kissing
Smiling and whispering
Sweet nothings in her ear, yeah
He looked so in love
Like he loved her most of all
And right then I closed my eyes to pretend

I’ll pretend like I didn’t see that girl
Leaving your crib
When I know that I did
I’ll pretend it didn’t hurt me
I’ll pretend I didn’t cry
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

Lie (3x)
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

My head told me you was worth it
My heart told me girl desert it
He’s no good, oh
But I can’t let you go
‘Cause I keep thinking
Back on the times when we were so in love
Back on the times when no one could break us up
Where did we go wrong
You were

Holding and kissing
Smiling and whispering
Sweet nothings in her ear, yeah
He looked so in love
Like he loved her most of all
And right then I closed my eyes to pretend

I’ll pretend like I didn’t see that girl
Leaving your crib
When I know that I did
I’ll pretend it didn’t hurt me
I’ll pretend I didn’t cry
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

Lie (3x)
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

I’m gonna lie to myself right now
Ain’t got no time to figure out why
My man gone out in the middle of the night
To break my heart
And I’m not ready to fight that fight
I still can’t forget but I’m gon’ try
So when he comes through that door
I’m gon’ love him a little more

I’ll pretend like I didn’t see that girl
Leaving your crib
When I know that I did
I’ll pretend it didn’t hurt me
I’ll pretend I didn’t cry
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie

Lie (3x)
I’ll pretend that I got over it when I know it’s a lie
