lyrics
I met you out of the blue
And everything I felt was new
You told me that you weren’t ready
But then you act like we’re going steady
I knew I was gone
Thought things would change as we blurred the lines
But you only want me sometimes
You made the rules from the get go
But I would follow you if you said so
If you change your mind
But for tonight, I’ll pretend everything’s okay
For tonight, I’ll pretend I don’t feel this way
I’ll pretend that we’re just friends like you said
Like I’m not wishing for more inside of my head
Like your mixed signals don’t bother me
For once in my life, I was brave
I told you how I feel
But you never really said if you felt the same
No
You’re probably packing up your things now
Driving fast on your way out of this town
I knew I was wrong
But for tonight, I’ll pretend everything’s okay
For tonight, I’ll pretend I don’t feel this way
I’ll pretend that we’re just friends like you said
Like I’m not wishing for more inside of my head
Like your mixed signals don’t bother me
You kiss me, but you don’t see me
You don’t want me; you’re just lonely
And for awhile, I thought I wouldn’t mind
But I do
You kiss me, but you don’t love me
You hold me, but I’m still lonely
Cause you’re so far away I couldn’t reach
But for tonight, I’ll pretend everything’s okay
For tonight, I’ll pretend I don’t feel this way
I’ll pretend that we’re just friends like you said
Like I’m not wishing for more inside of my head
Like your mixed signals don’t bother me
Everything’s okay
I don’t feel this way
I’ll pretend that we’re just friends like you said
Like I’m not wishing for more inside of my head
Like your mixed signals don’t bother me
But they do
