Pretend It’s OK Lyrics

[Intro: 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 realise
That we're living on borrowed time


[Chorus: Jade, Jade & 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*)

[Pre-Chorus: Perrie, All]
One breath, one step, one life, one heart
Two words, two eyes, new beginning, new start
Too deep, too narrow, too short, too wide
I'm better with you here by my side

[Chorus: Jade, Jade & 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, Jesy & Jade, 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, All, Jade & Perrie]
What would you do? (What would you do?) What would you say? (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


[Breakdown: All, Jade, Perrie]
What would you do? What would you say? (What would you say?)
How does it feel? Pretend it's okay (Pretend it's okay)
My eyes deceive me (What would you do?)
But it's still the same (What would you say?)
(How would you feel?) Pretend it's okay, oh, yeah

[Outro: All, Perrie]
What would you do? (What would you do?)
What would you say? (What would you)
Pretending it's okay
What would you do? (What would you do?)
What would you say?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
