Summer Love: Down by the Lake

I Can't Pretend (the one I sent to a competition)

I CAN’T PRETEND            

I can't pretend Ohhh...

I blush every time I look at you

And I can barely hold my nervousness back

Cause right on cue here come the butterflies too   

VERSE:

We grew up living by each other

Been friends since forever

I’ve been holding something inside for the longest time

It’s that I like you more than friends

So I’m hesitant to tell and it might break our friendship

And that’s the last thing that I would want

But it’s hard to pretend

CHORUS:

Nooo I can't pretend Ohhh...

I blush every time I look at you

And I can barely hold my nervousness back

Cause right on cue here come the butterflies

No I just can't pretend                      

That I don't think about you at all

VERSE:

Yeah

I don't know if you feel it too, but it seems like you do

Cause you look so cute when your talking to me

You get all pink in the cheeks

And you can't forget those brown eyes when they shine towards me

And that smile of yours lights up the world

When were always laughing, every second I have a million butterflies

CHORUS:

Nooo I can't pretend Ohhh...

I blush every time I look at you

And I can barely hold my nervousness back

Cause right on cue here come the butterflies

No I just can't pretend                      

That I don't think about you at all

VERSE:

Yeah

There's a reason you wanted to dance with me

There's a reason we were both smilin'

And there's a reason we didn't care if we messed up

Plus...

You blush every time you look at me

I can tell you get nervous around me

Cause you can hardly get the words you wanna say out

So let's not pretend we like each other

Let’s get it out into the open

Let you say I like you

Let me say I like you too

And let's not pretend

Anymore
