Jared Morris - I Can't Pretend I'm Not Getting Murdered Lyrics

You're not supposed to want what someone else has
Says who? Says who?

What if what i want belongs to another man
I'll take what I can
Like I always do

Why has rock 'n roll given up on me?
It retreats
It retreats

You looked so happy, with your happy family
But you cheat
Yes you cheat

Yes, I'm here on my knees
Waiting for you to get in front of me

I cant pretend I'm not being murdered
I can't pretend I'm not getting killed

I made a promise never to hurt her
I also made a pact to see her on her back, oh

I cant pretend I'm not being murdered
I can't pretend I'm not getting killed

I can't say that I'd never deserve her
Oh I never did and I never will

The difference between us is I can take a hint
Can you?
Can you?

I believe, this is bigger than I am
I never get what I want
Just a punch to the gut

Both you and he are cold motherf*ckers
I can't breath
But I can't leave

Let the little devils out and good luck, sir
It's mischief night
I can do what I like

Yes I'm here on my knees
Praying you put me out of my misery

I can't pretend I'm not being murdered
I can't pretend I'm not getting killed

I made a promise never to desert her
I made a pact to see her on her back, oh

You're crushed under the weight of my affection
Time stopped when you rode in on the pendulum

I cant pretend you don't feel this connection

Yes, I've come to the conclusion
The best medication is self delusion

I cant pretend I'm not being murdered
I can't pretend I'm not getting killed

I cant pretend I'm not being murdered
I can't pretend?
Oh I can and I will

I'm crushed under the weight of your affection
But time stopped when you rode in on the pendulum

Could you ever be in love with another
Or is he your one and only lover?
