Call It Pretending
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Call It Pretending UnveiledLyrics
What would you have me do
Contemplating what actions to take in the situation
Just turn and walk out on you
Considering the option of leaving abruptly
And leave you standing there
Imagining leaving the other person behind
Pretending I don't care
Feigning indifference or lack of concern
When you know as well as I
Acknowledging mutual understanding of the outcome
That would be nowhere
Expressing that such an action would lead to nowhere
Shouldn't I be with you
Questioning whether being together is the right choice
What would you have me say
Asking about the appropriate words to say after departure
After I walk away
Reflecting on the aftermath of the departure
Would it be the end
Contemplating if the separation is final or temporary
Or just a second wind
Considering the possibility of a renewed connection
For the good old song that we use to call pretending
Referring to past experiences as a form of pretending
Shouldn't I be with you
Reiterating the question of being together
It's not the first time that you had me turn away
Acknowledging a history of turning away in the past
I don't know it won't be the last time
Anticipating future instances of turning away
But you got to say you got to
Stressing the importance of communication and expression
Should we make a brand new start
Considering the option of starting anew
Or are you gonna break my heart
Questioning the potential for heartbreak in this decision
And leave me standing there
Envisioning the act of pretending not to care
Pretending I don't care
Reiterating the facade of indifference
When you know as well as I
Emphasizing the futility of such pretense
That would get us nowhere
Highlighting the lack of progress in this approach
Will it be the end
Contemplating whether this marks the end of the relationship
Or just a second wind
Considering the potential for a renewed connection
For the good old song that we use to call pretending
Referring again to the past practice of pretending
Shouldn't I be with you
Reiterating the question of being together
Shouldn't I be with you
Repeating the question of whether being together is appropriate
