Follow the carpet to the wall
Watch the pictures start to fall
There's nothing left here worth defending
Now we're pretending
Just pretending
It's ugly but it's true
Hey, something tells me you're still here
Come on in pull up a chair
It's complicated and depressing
Now we're pretending
Just pretending
It's ugly but it's true
Oh, it's ugly but it's true
Yeah, I'm working on borrowed time
I know I've said this before
Dancing round in my head
Rather be hopeful instead
Got lots of time 'fore I'm dead
Yeah, got lots of time 'fore I'm dead
And until then it's not too late
I ate it all licked off the plate
Lies on repeat, continue playing
Now we're pretending
Just pretending
It's ugly but it's true
Yeah, it's ugly but it's true
I know it's true
