Josh Kumra - Pretend [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

SInging it is easy, but saying it terrifies me
So many cliches in songs that nobody says in converstion
Like, I think about you all the time
And you're always on my mind
But the meaning's left behind in rotation
Radio plays it everyday
Until I feel there's nothing new to say
And lyrics don't work face-to-face
And i don't kow if I could take the humiliation
Of telling you what's on my mind
Cos what I really feel doesn't rhyme
And there's no melody to hide behind

But I can always pretend
My emotions have a start and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you, it's not about you

If games are for children
I gues I got some growing up to do
Cos it ain't anyone who'll listen
Means I'll never have to tell you what you mean to me
Just in case you turn me down
Cos if my music's not your style
All you have to do is turn me down

But I can always pretend
My emotions have a start and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you, it's not about you

All the smoking mirrors that I use to tell my version of the truth
They cover me and make me look much stronger
And to you I'm right where I belong
I can say what I want and do no wrong
Cos it's only a song, it's only a song

But I can always pretend
My emotions have a start and an end
Just like this song does
And I can always pretend
It's not about you, it's not about you
