Pretend
Kourtney Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's kinda crazy when you love somebody
And you feel like they don't love you back.
Though I'm still his lady, what I feel is that,
With the ladies... you show us some respect.
Chorus
And yes I know that I put myself in this position.
And yes I know that it was her that you were missin'.
Still I tried to stay with you, say that it's okay.
Act like I had no clue of what was in your head.
Oh I wish you were in love with me,
Instead of having to pretend.
Ooooh instead of having to pretend.
Verse 2
He was amazing with everything he told me.
He filled my heart, his love goes on and on.
And even though he... he made me wanna leave.
He made me feel so complete when I was alone.
Chorus
And yes I know that I put myself in this position.
And yes I know that it was her that you were missin'.
Still I tried to stay with you, say that it's okay.
Act like I had no clue of what was in your head.
Oh I wish you were in love with me,
Instead of having to pretend.
Ooooooh instead of having to pretend.
Ad Libs
Chorus
And yes I know that I put myself in this position.
And yes I know that it was her that you were missin'.
Still I tried to stay with you, say that it's okay.
Act like I had no clue of what was in your head.
Oh I...
Instead of having to pretend.
Oh I wish you were in love with me,
Instead of having to pretend.
