We used to live together
But now both live alone
Still we're trying to be friends
But we've both changed and gone
Whenever we are talking
Avoid each other's eyes

Our superficial conversations
Our candy-coated lies
We're just pretending to be friends now
And lovers can't be friends once there's an ending
'Cause no matter how hard we try
We're still pretending
Pretending

So now you answer phones
And read your magazines
I still sing my songs
And chase my rainbow dreams
And though we've been in love
It never seems to show

'Cause underneath our surface smiles
Deep down inside we know
We're just pretending to be friends now
And lovers can't be friend once there's an ending
'Cause no matter how hard we try
We're still pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Pretending
