Two Pretenders

I can't shake it
The feelin' that you're slippin' through my fingers
Not even a life support could save us
But I'm runnin' on empty, while you slowly disappear

I can't surrender
I'm not ready to give up on you, darlin'
And I don't wanna be over us
With cryin' like children, let's burn down this buildin'
And try to recover the feelin' of lovers

'Cause we are
Holding on tight to each other
Try to make something from nothin'
Throwing our hearts in the fire
Clingin' to the embers, livin' like two pretenders

I can't lose you
No one ever calls me out like you do
And I don't wanna be over us
Can we stop the hurtin', the pain and the bleedin'
And try to recover the feelin' of lovers?

'Cause we are
Holding on tight to each other
Try to make something from nothin'
Throwing our hearts in the fire
Clingin' to the embers, livin' like two pretenders

I don't wanna wake up with a stranger on my shoulder, so
Hold me like you used to do and tell me that you'll never surrender

'Cause we are
Holding on tight to each other
Try to make something from nothin'
Throwing our hearts in the fire
Clingin' to the embers, livin' like two pretenders

(Holding on tight to each other) two pretenders
(Try to make something from nothin') two pretenders
(Throwing our hearts in the fire) two pretenders
Ow!
(You're not gonna get it any better than that)
