Pretending I Give In (Let Go) Lyrics

Part I: I Give In

I was a lone wolf living from place to place
Living out of a suitcase looking for truth in all the wrong places
Holding every moment, the mystery of each day
I wouldn’t change it for nothing, no way
But you pulled me like a magnet
From the ocean rift I cannot pull myself away

I try to control it but I am too small
I had to give in to something so tall
I’m begging over me, it’s got a hold right-

Here
I’m feeling like a conduit
I ask myself do I deserve it
It all seems too perfect
You make me feel like I deserve it
Like I’m worth it
Like I have worked for it
Lord knows I’ve worked for it

You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here
You allow me to be right here

Every moment that I felt would simply disappear
Where did it go? Why do I care to hold on so dearly?
Living in this jungle of colors
Is all we need to be a being
Just let me be me
With others, some are good, some are not so good

I find my place with a genuine face
Smiling at me from the stars and the trees
Yeah

I try to control it but I am too small
I had to give in to something so tall
I’m begging over me, it’s got a hold right-

Here
I’m feeling like a conduit
I ask myself do I deserve it
It all seems too perfect
You make me feel like I deserve it
Like I’m worth it
Like I have worked for it
Lord knows I’ve worked for it

I deserve to be right here
I deserve to be right here
And I earned to be right here
And I deserve to be right here
I deserve to be right here
I deserve to be right here
I deserve to be right here
I deserve to be right here

Part II: Let Go

Genius Annotation

“Pretending I Give In (Let Go)” is the final track on the first side of SOPHIE’s double remix album. Like the original album version of “Pretending”, the track is a slowed down ambient track with heavy amounts of reverb. On the album version of “Pretending”, parts and vocals of the non-ambient demo of “Pretending” were slowed down, but on this remix, presumably a remix of the original demo is given the same treatment. The words are nearly indecipherable in most parts of the song.
