[Verse 1]
Didn't think you'd just walk away
I thought you had more fight in you
All I wanted was one last night
To hear the sound of you
One last fight
It's not true

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
It could have been good
Could have been good
But now we'll never know

[Chorus]
Let's pretend
You never left me
Let's pretend
You still believe

Just one more night
One more chance again
Let's pretend
This isn't the end

[Verse 2]
I guess I'll always be your home
I'll leave the light on for you
The feeling in my bones
I'll never get it through
You're not coming home
Not true

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
It could have been good
Could have been good
But now we'll never know

[Chorus]
Let's pretend
You still miss me
Let's pretend
You still care

Say my name
Like I'm still right there
Let's pretend
You're coming back

[Shredding guitar solo]

[Bridge]
You think I don't know that you can't hear me?
Just tell me you love me
You think I don't know that you can't hear me?
Pretend you were there

[Final Chorus]
Let's pretend
It really mattered
Let's pretend
We didn't break

One last lie
For my own heart's sake
Let's pretend
You're gonna stay
Oh-oh
You're gonna stay
Oh, let's pretend
