I hate that I'm getting older
When I know you're not
Thought I'd be a little stronger
But lately I seem to think wrong a lot
Cause I thought my family would make it
Die in each others' arms
But now I belong to London
And my parents belong to different hearts

But you came into my life when hope was gone
And now you're all I'll ever need to carry on

Cause I only know you, darling
And you only know me too
And nothing else matters to me I know it doesn't to you
I guess the world's messy
And it can feel like the end
But you clean up my brain on my darkest days
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend

I see you when I roll over
And everything feels okay
It makes all of the hurt from the few times I cried just go away

And you came into my life when hope was gone
And now you're all I'll ever need to carry on

Cause I only know you, darling
And you only know me too
And nothing else matters to me I know it doesn't to you
I guess the world's messy
And it can feel like the end
But you clean up my brain on my darkest days
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend

Woah...
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
Woah
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
Woah...
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
Woah...
I don't have to pretend

Cause I only know you, darling
And you only know me too
And nothing else matters to me I know it doesn't to you
I guess the world's messy
And it can feel like the end
But you clean up my brain on my darkest days
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend
I don't have to pretend

I don't have to pretend
