Pretender Lyrics

I can never see your face inside my head
I see your eyes instead
And when your nights are cool
I wish the summer wouldn't end
You're more than just another friend

And this might never work out
But it's alright
Never feel like getting hurt
What a beautiful way to hurt
You're so far out of my league
I can't see why you're here with me
Pretend that you don't have to leave

I haven't slept in days
And you ask me do I really care
I'll sit you down and count the ways
There's a fired clock
Above your sweet little head
The winter might just leave me dead

This might never work out
But it's alright to feel like getting hurt
What a beautiful way to hurt
You're so far out of my league
I can't see why you're here with me
Pretend that you don't have to leave

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
