[Chorus: Jade]
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
[Verse 1: Perrie & Jade & (Leigh-Anne)]
I remember the day when we were out all night
I wish that I could get the day back and tell you it's alright
(Cause we all do the same thing, we just don't realize)
That we're living on borrowed time
[Chorus: Jade, with Perrie]
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne, Perrie, Jade, {Jesy}, (All)]
I see the light that I'm chasing
A memory, but it's fading
When it's gone, I'll be waiting
{Knowing it's too late} (Knowing it's too late)
You chose the road that I'm walking
Now it's your soul that I'm caught in
And you're not hearing when I'm calling
Calling your name
One breath, one step, one life, one heart
Two words, two eyes, new beginning, new start
(Too deep, too narrow, too short, too bright
I'm better with you, here by my side)
[Chorus: Jade, with Perrie]
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
[Bridge: Jesy, Perrie]
Nothing here, no one talking, knowing it's too late
But sometimes it can get so hard pretending it's okay
Nothing here, no one talking, nothing's gonna change
But sometimes it can get so hard pretending it's okay
[Chorus: Jade, with Perrie]
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
[Verse 1: Perrie & Jade & (Leigh-Anne)]
I remember the day when we were out all night
I wish that I could get the day back and tell you it's alright
(Cause we all do the same thing, we just don't realize)
That we're living on borrowed time
[Chorus: Jade, with Perrie]
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne, Perrie, Jade, {Jesy}, (All)]
I see the light that I'm chasing
A memory, but it's fading
When it's gone, I'll be waiting
{Knowing it's too late} (Knowing it's too late)
You chose the road that I'm walking
Now it's your soul that I'm caught in
And you're not hearing when I'm calling
Calling your name
One breath, one step, one life, one heart
Two words, two eyes, new beginning, new start
(Too deep, too narrow, too short, too bright
I'm better with you, here by my side)
[Chorus: Jade, with Perrie]

But sometimes it can get so hard pretending it's okay
Nothing here, no one talking, nothing's gonna change

What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's okay
