We get our legs tangled and our hearts mangled
And our bodies open with our skin on fire
Pretend it’s all a game when another comes our way
Pretend it’s all okay when another gets in the way
Pretend our hearts are steady rather than speak out loud
Pretend our hearts are steady rather than scream out loud
Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s fire
Pretend our hearts are steady rather than scream out loud
Ignore that drumming in your chest, no don’t you ever sound it
You keep that feeling to yourself because we’ll never stand it
Pretend it’s all okay and we never rock the boat
Pretend it’s all okay it’s the only way to cope
Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s fire
Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s
Well there
There’s fire
