A young girl thinks she's tough can take everything in her stride.

PRETEND
© Lyrics by Rizo Balic

VERSE [ONE]
I PRETEND I'M FINE,
AND I DON'T CARE,
I'M ON MY OWN AGAIN,
JUST LIKE BEFORE,
I PRETEND I'M SO HAPPY,
WHEN MY HEART IS BROKEN.

VERSE [TWO]
I PRETEND I'M IN CONTROL,
NOTHING GETS ME DOWN,
I NEVER LOOSE MY COOL,
I PRETEND I'LL BE OKAY,
WHEN MY LIFE IS TORN APART,
AND THERE'S NO HOPE.

BRIDGE:
I PRETEND I CAN COPE,
WITH ALL LIFE DEMANDS,

CHORUS:
I TAKE ALL IN MY STRIDE,
AND NOTHING CAN UPSET ME,
I PRETEND I'M HAPPY,
EVEN WHEN I KNOW,
I'M FACING LONELINESS.

VERSE [THREE]
I PRETEND ALL IT'S FINE,
WHEN MY LIFE IS IN TURMOIL,
AND I CAN'T STOP THE ROT,
I PRETEND I DON'T CARE,
WHEN I KNOW LIFE'S GOING,
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

VERSE [FOUR]
I PRETEND I'M WINNING,
AND LIFE CAN'T GET ANY BETTER,
EVEN WHEN I KNOW,
THE TRUTH IT'S DIFFERENT,
I PRETEND I'M JUST FINE,
AND NOTHING CAN'T TOUCH ME.
