Just Pretend Lyrics

Lydia
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
I mean, I've seen your wedding video
You said you'd love each other
For forever
For better or worse, so where did that go?

I always pictured what our life would be
And this isn't that at all

Lydia
Guess we'll have to make a new picture now
And hang it on our wall

Daniel
A new picture, right
God, you grew up fast

Lydia
