Can We Pretend
P!nk [feat. Cash Cash] Lyrics

I remember conversations
I recall our past dialogues

We were dancing up on tables
We were literally dancing on top of tables

Taking pictures when we had nowhere to post
We took photos without any intention of posting them on social media

You were laughin', I was cryin'
You were having fun, while I was feeling sad

We were dancin', we were dyin'
We were partying together, but it was slowly killing us both emotionally

Sometimes I don't know how we walked away
I'm surprised that we were able to leave those situations without any permanent harm done

If I'm honest, what I liked
To be truthful, what I enjoyed

Were the things we didn't know
Were the things that we didn't understand or comprehend

Every morning, every night
During every part of the day, whether it be morning or night

I'd be beating down your door
I would constantly want to talk or communicate with you

Just to tell you what I'm thinking
Just to express my thoughts and emotions to you

But you already know
Despite this, you already have an idea of what I am feeling

Screw this, I don't wanna let it go
I don't want to move on from these moments

So can we pretend that I'm 22 today?
Can we create an illusion where I feel young and carefree?

Dancin' on the tables with you, oh yeah
Dancing together on top of tables once again

Can we pretend that we all end up okay?
Can we pretend that our future will turn out okay, despite our worries?

I just wanna forget with you, oh yeah
I just want to escape with you and forget about our problems

Can we pretend that we both like the president?
Can we create a fake belief that we both support the president?

Can we pretend that I really like your shoes? Hell yeah
Can we create an illusion that I love your shoes, even though I don't?

Can we pretend? 'Cause honestly, reality, it bores me
Can we create a false reality, because I find the truth boring?

Let's pretend, oh, let's make believe
Let's both pretend to believe in something we know isn't real

I remember what we wanted
I recall our past desires and aspirations

What we'd never take for granted
What we would always appreciate and value

How our daddy issues took us to LA
How our paternal problems led us to go to Los Angeles

If I'm honest, what I miss
To be truthful, what I really long for

Is not knowin' what to say
Is not having a definite answer or response

And the feeling of your lips
And the physical sensation of our lips touching

And it haunts me every day
And this thought troubles or troubles me every day

When you'd tell me what you're thinking
When you told me about your own emotions and thoughts

But I'd already know
But I already had a sense or comprehension of what you meant

Can we pretend that we both like the way it is? Hell yeah
Can we create a false belief that we both enjoy our lives currently?

Can we pretend that we like these fake-ass dudes? Oh yeah
Can we create an illusion that we appreciate these men who pretend to be something they're not?

Honestly, reality, it bores me
Truthfully, I find reality uninteresting or tedious

Can we, can we pretend?
Can we please create a make-believe world?

Oh, can we pretend?
Can we just pretend for a moment?

Can we? Let's make believe
Can we create an imaginary world and just go with it?

Can we (Can we)
Can we please pretend?

Honestly
Honestly
