[Intro]
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey
My darling
We are not the ones to blame

[Verse 1]
The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts
My baby
It always ends up in tears...

[Chorus]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So, keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Verse 2]
"Trust" is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls
My darling
It always ends up in tears...
[Chorus]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
Oh, and keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, come on

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]
So, keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending
It's all right
So, keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It's all right...

[Chorus 2]
So, keep on pretending, yeah
It will be the end of our craving
Pretending, yeah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
When it's not all right, yeah
When it's not all right, yeah
It's not all right, yeah
Just keeping on pretending
Just like I do, honey, yeah
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
No
So, what is she thinking?
You carry the burden on your shoulders
Just the way I do myself, yeah
Oh, why can't we just say
All the things that we mean
And all the things that we really want to say

Why do keep we our hearts
So closed down, darling?
Oh, yeah
'Cause I love your smiles
More than your tears, yeah
Than your tears, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, baby, hey, yeah, yeah
Just believe me
Just believe me, yeah
Oh, hold on

And we're still pretending
That we are so unending[?]
We're gonna run out someday, oh
Still pretending (Still pretending), oh
Sweet pretending, yeah
So a lie we keep on pretending
That our heaven's worth the waiting
Pretending it's all right
It's all right, now, darling, yeah
You think that it's gonna be
The end of our craving, darling

Why are we, why are we
Why are we foolin' ourselves now? Yeah
'Cause we know the truth now, yeah
'Cause we know the truth
Yes, we know the truth
And we know the truth, yeah
We know the truth, yeah
The truth, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah
My darling, my baby, darling

Yeah...
Oh...

[Outro]
Keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Pretending that it's all right
When it's not all right
