Written by Benji Madden, Eric Valentine, Joel Madden, Ross Golan
Maybe we should just be love pretenders Cause baby we don't need these scars Never gonna let my heart surrender I'm afraid to fall too hard
I've dropped my soul down the darkest hole And I can't find my way out But I retrace the steps I take And I try to figure out
Why do I do this to myself? Why do I let my guard down? Why do I just replay the past? Why do I let you come around?
We've both been here before Yeah, we've both been here
Maybe we should just be love pretenders Baby, we don't need these scars Never gonna let my heart surrender I'm afraid to fall too hard Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders
I'm optimistic, that if we risk it We could work it out But it's a gamble, when hearts get tangled We could come unwound
Why do we do this to ourselves When we need each other? Why don't we try to make this last? Why don't we try to stick around?
We've both been here before, Yeah, we've both been here
Maybe we should just be love pretenders Baby, we don't need these scars Never gonna let my heart surrender I'm afraid to fall too hard Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders
Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe Love takes a heart brave enough to play
Maybe we should just be love pretenders Baby, we don't need these scars Never gonna let my heart surrender I'm afraid to fall too hard Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Love pretenders
Some say don't waste your days playing it so safe Love takes a heart brave enough to break
