Practise fake calling my dad So it will look like there's somebody tough Waiting for me to walk in the door After the Sun has gone down And I set on home Up a street that's familiar to me Past that big group of figures That force my gaze downwards Till I can't see past my feet Practise pretending, I know what to do when I see it Practise pretending, I understand what not to say Stupid girl Stupid girl Sometimes I call you instead And I'll pray that you've not gone to bed And I'll make sure you know where I am As I make my way home Down the street all alone Practise pretending, I know what to do when I see it Practise pretending, I understand what not to say Stupid girl Stupid girl I don't wanna go out tonight I just wanna sleep right tonight
