Dynem - Pretend

You spend so much time
Missing a person that left you nearly two years ago
Where does it get you
You think you cross her mind
You think she talks out loud about you when she drives
You think it tears her to pieces when someone mentions you

It doesn't
You're barely part of her past, you might as well not even exist
Let it be over or else you're gonna stay in this rut that's kept you from happiness
Or be a loser, and pretend

We were fried
Our relationship had rapidly declined
On the phone late at night
Either argued or we sighed
Aggravation with each other was a constant
Through the fights
What they costed us was time
Hours that we should've prized
Lost in our exhaustion causin'
Our hearts to divide
Not long after you resigned
Walked out
Missed your warning signs
I was too self-centered, blind
To pay em any mind
Forever is a word Sunshine and I could not define

Take me up on startin' over
Otherwise I will grow colder
And I'll die with heavy shoulders
I want more than simply closure
I want you til we are older
We can leave the world together
So we rest in peace forever
So we rest in peace forever
Let me pretend I'm over it
Send me where pain don't exist
A world that you didn't exit
Where we are still connected
I don't wanna be without you
Even if I know I have to be
You are gone but I love you
Like you ain't
Please

I ain't recognized myself since my love disappeared
Who I was
Back before we met
Has perished, he ain't here
Worst part of it all is
That I've grown
Okay with despair
It has become so normal that I'm comfy
Bein' snared

I've considered lately all the strength this trauma gave me
Maybe peace just hates me
Daily
I'm fixated on the weight
Trust me it is heavy
Loving someone when I know that she will never love me
It won't make a difference her forsaking is upsetting me
She'll be more than happy moving forward and forgetting me
Preventing me from letting the reality be fine
Cause it torments me once you were mine
Until you said goodbye
Now there's another in your life
Why

Take me up on startin' over
Otherwise I will grow colder
And I'll die with heavy shoulders
I want more than simply closure
I want you til we are older
We can leave the world together
So we rest in peace forever
So we rest in peace forever
Let me pretend I'm over it
Send me where pain don't exist
A world that you didn't exit
Where we are still connected
I don't wanna be without you
Even if I know I have to be
You are gone but I love you
Like you ain't
Please

How can I give what I gave
When it wasn't given back
You still have the piece I'm missing
I am not intact
Ape I wish you hadn't left
I coulda fixed my act, but
I did the exact opposite
I napped

Take me up on startin' over
Otherwise I will grow colder
And I'll die with heavy shoulders
I want more than simply closure
I want you til we are older
We can leave the world together
So we rest in peace forever
So we rest in peace forever
Let me pretend I'm over it
Send me where pain don't exist
A world that you didn't exit
Where we are still connected
I don't wanna be without you
Even if I know I have to be
You are gone but I love you
Like you ain't
Please

If you came to me and said
Let's try to work it out
I would fall to my knees
Without a doubt you'd be my spouse
Baby you brought satisfaction
Unlike anything I've found
I cannot allow myself t
To give away your crown
