"Pretend" is about being in that state if denial like, no way you don't love me. I'm the best. I'm the only one for you. So you just don't allow it to happen.
lyrics
I won't believe that you would leave me
Until your face fades in my memory
And I won't be sorry for a while
And when I hear your name I won't hold back a smile
I'll pretend it isn't over
I'll pretend it didn't end
Maybe if I keep my eyes shut
The world won't stop its spin
And I won't believe that you are capable of leaving
Not for a moment will I let myself take it in and grieve
And there is no other, but be that can satisfy your heart
And for that moment you and me will never be apart
I'll pretend it isn't over
I'll pretend it didn't end
Maybe if I keep my mouth shut the monsters wont get in
I'll pretend you didn't tell me
You pretended when you loved me
Tell myself that somewhere deep inside you're always thinking of me
