♡ alec benjamin - pretending
311♡ hi! the homies call me kindness! i love to sing (regardless of how i sound to others) & i try to encourage the world to singalongside me, to remind them that it's not about what you sound like but how it makes you feel. singing helps combat anxiety & depression, which too many struggle with, including myself. also, singing with the artist is what i want to do for real someday (at least for the vibes), which is why i sing with them this way *manifest* :).
♡ let's go on this adventure of self-healing, together. “it's not the destination, it's the journey” - ralph waldo emerson :)

lyrics:
in this masquerade she can't feel the pain
cover up her heart with a little paint
while he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away
there's nothing left to say
he knows that they're drowning
she hopes that there's still something left
let go now 'cause he's leaving
but she'd be fine pretending things were alright
even while it's ending keep it inside
she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
even when she says she'll open her eyes
all her words are empty when she denies
that she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
but she'd be fine prete.. she'd be fine..
step into the light to look him in the eye
feeling so exposed she tries to stay composed
but every little fight and every little lie is impossible to hide
he knows that they're drowning
she hopes that there's still something left
let go now 'cause he's leaving
but she'd be fine pretending things were alright
even while it's ending keep it inside
she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
even when she says she'll open her eyes
all her words are empty when she denies
that she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
but she'd be fine prete.. she'd be fine
i hate to watch her hurt i know it isn't right
but she can't find the courage to leave it all behind
i wish i had the words to help her realize
that there is just no way to bring this back to life
he knows that they're drowning
but she'd be fine pretending things were alright
even while it's ending keep it inside
she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
even when she says she'll open her eyes
all her words are empty when she denies
that she can feel them bending
all their love is pending so what is she defending
but she'd be fine prete.. she'd be fine
