[Verse 1]
You took your love away too fast
Left no chance to say, "Look back"
And now I know the truth, it makes it easier
Maybe when time goes by, I’ll understand

[Chorus]
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I'll tell myself that life goes on without you
Open my eyes, look deep inside
I run away, I run away, I run away

[Verse 2]
You threw it all away
So blind (So blind)
You pushed me far from you in your life
Now I know the tears won’t lead to loneliness
Maybe when time goes by, I’ll understand

[Chorus]
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I'll tell myself that life goes on without you
Open my eyes, look deep inside
I run away, I run away, I run away, I run away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I'll tell myself that life goes on without you
Open my eyes, look deep inside
I run away, I run away, I run away
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I'll tell myself that life goes on without you
Open my eyes, look deep inside
I run away, I run away

[Outro]
Let's pretend that I've moved on
And I'll tell myself that life goes on without you

Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997.

Spears’s first and second studio albums, …Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, became international successes, with the former becoming the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. Title tracks “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” broke international sales records, with the former reaching number one in every country it charted in. In 2001, Spears released her self-titled third studio album, Britney, and played the starring role in the film Crossroads (2002). She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone, which yielded the worldwide success of the single “Toxic.”

In 2007, Spears’s much-publicized personal issues sent her career into hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released later that year, and spawned hits such as “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me”.
