‘Stop Pretending’
(Written by Vicci Martinez, Kristian Lundin, Savan Kotecha, Julian Bunetta)
Woke up in a riddle
Without knowing what to do
Stuck solving a puzzle with no clues
I’m right in the middle
Of every dream becoming true
But it all means so little without you
I’d never say these words to anyone else
I always play a part with everyone else
Been wasting too much time not being myself
But with you, I stop pretending
Drank some wine to finally confess
That there’s a wounded heart inside of my chest
And now I want you back, cuz I feel like a mess
But with you I stop pretending
Keep hearing the echo
Of how you used to say my name
But I’m stuck in the shadow of my pain
Hello baby, are you there?
I’d never say these words to anyone else
I always play a part with everyone else
Been wasting too much time not being myself
But with you, I stop pretending
Drank some wine to finally confess
That there’s a wounded heart inside of my chest
And now I want you back, cuz I feel like a mess
But with you I stop pretending
Hello baby, are you still there?
I’d never say these words to anyone else
I always play a part with everyone else
Been wasting too much time not being myself
But with you, I stop pretending
Drank some wine to finally confess
That there’s a wounded heart inside of my chest
And now I want you back, cuz I feel like a mess
But with you I stop pretending
Vicci’s interpretation of this song:
“This song is definitely about the journey I have been on since The Voice. I came to LA to do the show, and with the way things turned out, I never left. Life has been a rollercoaster, and I have been so blessed to live out my dreams, but with that I had to leave a lot of things behind, including the person I was with. We were very supportive of each other living our truth, and following our passion in life, but we had to let go of the relationship we were in to do this. This is basically a song dedicated to that person, kind of a confession.”
