[Verse 1]
Making that mistake was a serious task
How can I hear your voice again?
My only concern wasn't making it last
Somehow I cut it off shorter
She's holding back never wanting change
She never thought she could
Then she realised when he finally left
Maybe he was gone for good
Gone for good

[Verse 2]
Everything I wanted ended up in the fire
How am I in the same place?
Playing the piano at 2:30am
Wishing I could sleep in
She was terrified never wanting to grow
Maybe if she understood
There was nothing left they could argue about
Maybe he was gone for good

[Chorus 1]
We pretend that everything is made and spent
We pretend we can
We surrender
Everything was changing when
We pretend we can
[Verse 3]
Do we need a little sacrificial lamb
Don’t let it get too attached
Playing the piano at 6:30 AM
Not knowing where to begin
She was never sure how to say what she felt
She never thought she should
There was nothing left they could agree about
Maybe it was gone for good

[Chorus 2]
We suspected everything was at our end
We can end it then
We surrender
Everything was made and spent
We pretend we can
