Lost Stars - Can't Pretend

Remember when I told you I could lay with you forever?   
I stole the covers just to make you smile
We’d blow off homework and talk shit on our professors
Who needs to study when you’re mine?

When all the leaves would start to fall you’d steal my sweater
Fogged up the windows in your car at night
I always told you that our love would last forever
But I can’t keep living this lie

No I can’t pretend to love you
I just need to let you go
‘Cause every time my mind circles back to you and I
I come crawling to your door

No I can’t love you
I can’t love you

Remember when your mother used to say you could do better
You threw it in my face in every fight
Then you would leave apology notes on my dresser
Oh you and I were such a crime

No I can’t pretend to love you
I just need to let you go
‘Cause every time my mind circles back to you and I
I come crawling to your door

No I can’t love you
I can’t love you

I keep on giving you these signs there’s still a chance for you and I
Like this love was meant to be
I keep on telling myself lies pretending this is our last night
But you’re just not meant for me, no

I can’t pretend to love you
I need to let you go
No I can’t pretend to love you
I can’t do this anymore

No I can’t pretend to love you
I just need to let you go
‘Cause every time my mind circles back to you and I
I come crawling to your door

No I can’t love you
I can’t love you
I can't love you
I can't love you
No
