Can We Pretend That We’re Good? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Told you that I didn't love you
Didn't wanna, but I had to, oh, oh, oh
I know you don't wanna see me
But what if I got down on my knees? Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
If not, then I don't mind if I die
'Cause I'll never find another you

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, can we pretend that we're good?
Just for the night 'til the morning
I'd take it back if I could
If you wanna, baby, take it out on my body
Can we pretend that we're good?
Just for the night 'til the morning
I'd take it back if I could
'Cause I'll never find another you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Please, don't make me have to say please
I know that you're just as lonely, oh, oh, oh
I'll tell you something that I don't mean
Baby, pleasе, don't ever leavе me, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
If not, then I don't mind if I die
'Cause I'll never find another you

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, can we pretend that we're good?
Just for the night 'til the morning
I'd take it back if I could
If you wanna, baby, take it out on my body
Can we pretend that we're good?
Just for the night 'til the morning
I'd take it back if I could
'Cause I'll never find another you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Can We Pretend That We’re Good?” is the debut solo single by singer-songwritter and producer Daniel Seavey, member of the american boyband Why Don’t We, who went into a hiatus in July of 2022.

The track’s a pop-rock fusion elevated by Daniel’s electric vocals, all produced by the man himself, and it’s reminiscent of songs such as “Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eillish, as he shares in an interview for Zach Sang Show.

Even though he gave us a taste of solo music with “bleed on me,” and a cover of “Hallelujah” over the summer of 2022, Seavey confirmed “Can We Pretend That We’re Good?” as his debut single.
