Thank God for whiskey 'cause I've been missing
The sound of your voice when you call
Lucky horseshoes won't fix my blues
I'm starting to figure it out

But I can't pretend
That everything's alright
When I haven't heard back
In such a long time
Then I run into you out in the wild
You look so happy now
Now that I'm not around
Don't ask me how I am or how I've been
'Cause I can't pretend

Small-talking, fake-smiling
But meanwhile, I'm dying inside
She seems wonderful
And I'm such a fool
For thinking that I'd be just fine

But I can't pretend
That everything's alright
When I haven't heard back
In such a long time
Then I run into you out in thе wild
You look so happy now
Now that I'm not around
Don't ask me how I am or how I've been
'Cause I can't prеtend

Ooh-oh
I can't pretend
Ooh-ooh

No, I can't pretend
That everything's alright
When I haven't heard back
In such a long time
Then I run into you out in the wild
You look so happy now
Now that I'm not around
Don't ask me how I am or how I've been
Someday I'll move on but 'til then

I can't pretened
No, I can't pretend
