Can’t Pretend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom Odell]
Love, I have wounds
Only you can mend
You can mend oh, oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend oh, oh

[Verse 2: Tom Odell]
Feel, my skin is rough
But it can be cleansed
It can be cleansed oh, oh
And my arms are tough
But they can be bent
They can be bent oh, oh
And I wanna fight
But I can't contend

[Chorus: Tom Odell]
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend

[Bridge: Tom Odell]
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls they blend
Yeah, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends

[Chorus: Tom Odell]
But I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend oh, oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend oh, oh

[Bridge: Tom Odell]
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls they blend
Yeah, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends

[Outro: Tom Odell]
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend oh, oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
I can't pretend oh, oh
