√Jo.e feat. MJ Guintu Balingit - Pretend Lyrics

Jessica Pineda Rodriguez
: Jo.e feat. MJ Guintu Balingit
: Vocalist lyricist Jo.e (Jessica Pineda Rodriguez) is improving as she goes as her new single named "Pretend" demonstrates. This time, she gets some help from individual artist arranger MJ Guintu Balingit. The subsequent collab is a snappy, acoustic-enhanced pop number that just adheres to our ears everytime we hear it. It even more energizes us to feel that Jo.e is simply getting ready and we can hardly wait until her next stuff comes out. However, for the interim, "Pretend" will do fine and dandy.


Song lyrics

It's sad to say no 
Hard to admit I can't go
Any further 
But to be with you 
Not as your lover

When I look in your eyes 
I can see butterflies
Although you try to deny

Know what you're thinking 
I'm not taking you for granted
Just pretending I don't see it 
Don't wanna end what we've started

I wanna pull you closer
But push you farther
Should I admit to what I feel
Or act as if there's nothing real  

Should we stay the same or be true
And take the blame  
But I'd rather keep what's on my mind
To not lose you by my side

I'll try my best to pretend
I'll try my best to pretend
To stay and be your best friend

MJ:
Hey girl don't think too much
But what if this is for us
I'm just saying, let's enjoy this ride
We don't need to rush 
         
Cheer up, it's me, we'll be fine
I won't take much of your time  
I'll stay right here ‘til you change your mind

I know what you're thinking 
I'm not taking you for granted
I hope I'm just mistaken 
Don't wanna end what we've started 

Jo.e & MJ:
I wanna pull you closer
But push you farther
Should I admit to what I feel
Or act as if there's nothing real

Should we stay the same or be true
And take the blame  
But I'd rather keep what's on my mind
To not lose you by my side

I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
To stay and be your best friend

Bridge:
Jo.e:
Don't wanna hurt you
‘Cause I know you don't deserve to
All I can do is to be with you
But you may get the wrong idea

MJ:
I just want to protect you
Give you all of the things you deserve too
Coz your pretty smile makes everything worthwhile ( it's more than enough)  

I wanna pull you closer
But push you farther
Should I admit to what I feel
Or act as if there's nothing real  

Should we stay the same or be true
And take the blame  
But I'd rather keep what's on my mind
To not lose you by my side

I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
I'll try my best to pretend (I'll try my best to pretend)
So this won’t end
