Lyrics for 'HIM - Pretending'  by Him

If for just one night
We could stop pretending
That we're never ending
Cause soon I'll have to go

My biggest fear in life is that the universe works
I guess to be blessed we had to be cursed first
Well obviously waiting on honesty hurts worse
Than arguing over how much the dirt's worth
It's that type of magic when creative spurts burst
Can turn to a flat line from hospitalized bird chirps
Would you line up with me to be the first cursed?
To prove to this nervous earth the universe works

(Chorus:)
For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
Cause soon I'll have to go
These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay

All right, all right, the universe works had enough with the crisis
I'm sure that all our heads have been stuck in vice grips
When advice gets repetitive that's becuase it is
So we should stop pretending we haven't heard it before this
So whoever you share life with whether it be your lover, parent, grandparent, sister or brother
Let them know to make sure they knew
That they were appreciated for taking on the challenge of you

(Chorus)
Try, try, to get to the other side
Rise, rise, watch your halo grow in size
I, I, hope to god
That I will never be given another personality that I'll have to resign

For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
Cause soon I'll have to go

Cause you didn't cherish all those times we had
You find yourself feeling sad
Cause I've gone away

Let's go

(Chorus 2x)
Let's go

Try, try, to get to the other side
Rise, rise, watch your halo grow in size
I, I, hope to god
That I will never be given another personality that I'll have to resign
