Lyrics

Try to shake it off as though you were prepared
For your heart to stop and leave you in cold air
What a shame you thought that all you felt was real
While good friends go out for a laugh to steal

Some say only 12 is the most you'll get
But even in this pain I can't quit

How could you just play pretend on me this time
When all good love is real
How could you just play pretend on me

Take a chance on me, yeah, try your luck
You should know by now true love'll leave you struck
But there's no bottle big enough to drown it out
Though alibis like those stay fun 'till truth check out

Some say only 12 is the most you'll get
But even in this pain I can't quit

How could you just play pretend on me this time
When all good love is real
How could you just play pretend on me
