[Verse 1]
Brooklyn was so cold
And the wind was relentless
I'm too afraid to take a knife to the tension
(Take a knife to the tension)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Are we alright
After last night
Cause you haven't said a word since
And if you let me
I want to be you
Try to understand your hurt
But I only make it worse

[Chorus]
Could we just pretend
Lie for one more night
Don't wanna fight again
In front of all our friends
I'll fake one more smile
Act like we're alright
I'll Leave it for the car
Where we can fall apart

[Verse 2]
I've never broken bones
But I've been broke enough to know that we've been here before
Something 'bout this time is killing me
I've got enough change for two of us
To get across town
But you're not coming
Is this what you wanted?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you alright
After last night
Cause you haven't said a word since
(You haven't said a word since)
Could you forgive me? (Could you?)
I want to be you
Try to understand your hurt
But I only make it worse
[Chorus]
Could we just pretend
Lie for one more night
Don't wanna fight again
In front of all our friends
I'll fake one more smile
Act like we're alright
I'll Leave it for the car
Where we can fall apart
