Maybe we should just be love pretenders 
 Cause baby we don’t need these scars 
 Never gonna let my heart surrender 
 I’m afraid to fall too hard 
    I’ve dropped my soul down the darkest hole 
 And I can’t find my way out 
 But I retrace the steps I take 
 And I try to figure out   
 Why do I do this to myself? 
 Why do I let my guard down? 
 Why do I just replay the past? 
 Why do I let you come around? 
 We’ve both been here before 
 Yeah, we’ve both been here   
 Maybe we should just be love pretenders 
 Baby, we don’t need these scars 
 Never gonna let my heart surrender 
 I’m afraid to fall too hard 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders   
 I’m optimistic, that if we risk it 
 We could work it out 
 But it’s a gamble, when hearts get tangled 
 We could come unwound 
 Why do we do this to ourselves 
 When we need each other? 
 Why don’t we try to make this last? 
 Why don’t we try to stick around?   
 We’ve both been here before, 
 Yeah, we’ve both been here 
 Maybe we should just be love pretenders 
 Baby, we don’t need these scars 
 Never gonna let my heart surrender 
 I’m afraid to fall too hard 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders   
 Some say don’t waste your days playing it so safe 
 Love takes a heart brave enough to play 
 Maybe we should just be love pretenders 
 Baby, we don’t need these scars 
 Never gonna let my heart surrender   
 I’m afraid to fall too hard 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders 
 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa 
 Love pretenders 
 Some say don’t waste 
 Your days playing it so safe 
 Love takes a heart brave enough to break
