I Can't Pretend Lyrics

I been watching you wasting your life
Throwing it away every day
And it seems such a shame
To see your life go down the drain
But there's nothing that I can do
To help you in any way
I got my problems
And you got yours

I can't pretend
I can't pretend anymore
No I can't pretend
I can't pretend anymore
I can't pretend anymore

Day by day, it's my obsession with you
But it's of no use at all
I couldn't let it through
Questions come and answers,
There's never a reply
I'm leaving you so you'll survive

I can't pretend
I can't pretend anymore
No I can't pretend
I can't pretend anymore
I can't pretend anymore

I don't need a thesaurus
To see the mess you're in
It doesn't break my heart to see you cry
It doesn't break my heart to see you cry
It doesn't break my heart to see you cry
It doesn't break my heart to see you cry

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.
