Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up early just to see your face,
Now I sleep through mornings, can’t fill that space.
Phone lights up — it’s never you,
Still I check like it’s something new.
[Pre‑Chorus 1]
I say I’m fine then change the plan,
Play that song just to hurt again.
Every line I sing pulls the thread,
Of everything we never said.
[Chorus]
I’m not over you — I’m just over pretending I am.
Post another smile like it’s part of the plan.
Scroll too fast ’cause it hurts to stop,
You’re the one I can’t unfollow — can’t crop.
Yeah, I’m not over you —
I’m just over pretending I am.
[Verse 2]
Saw you downtown, caught your reflection,
Heartbeat glitch, no course correction.
You laughed with friends — I turned away,
Still rewinding that replay.
[Pre‑Chorus 2]
Talk to myself like I lost reception,
Ghost in my phone with real affection.
Every message that I never send,
Starts with “Hey” and never ends.
[Chorus (Repeat)]
I’m not over you — I’m just over pretending I am.
Post another smile like it’s part of the plan.
Scroll too fast ’cause it hurts to stop,
You’re the one I can’t unfollow — can’t crop.
[Verse 3 / Bridge Hybrid]
Wonder what you’re doing while I’m lost online,
Our old playlist still keeps me in line.
Every beat hits where you used to stand,
Guess I’m not over — just playing pretend.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
I’m not over you — I’m just over pretending I am,
Singing like closure’s part of the jam.
Maybe time won’t make it end,
I’m not over you — and I don’t pretend.
