Upstairs

Stop Pretending
© 2025 R3Zondo

You build altars to connection
But pray with empty hands
You ask for depth
Then drown in shallow sands

Stop pretending

You want honesty
As long as the mirror is kind
You ask for presence
Then flinch when someone really arrives

Stop pretending

Stop pretending
It’s not timing or disguise
Stop pretending
Love is waiting, love is alive
You don’t attract what you ask for
Only what your hands can hold
Stop pretending
Let yourself be known

You mistake fireworks for galaxies
Sparks for something whole
You feed on attention
While affection waits slow

Stop pretending

Two mirrors facing each other
Afraid to shine
Waiting for proof
The light won’t burn this time

Stop pretending

Love is not scarce
It’s the river flowing in
Stop pretending
Learn how to swim

(Summary)

I wrote Stop Pretending, as a mirror, not a judgment. It’s about the ways we say we want love but quietly avoid the responsibility of being seen. For me, this song is a reminder that connection doesn’t disappear, it waits. It asks us to soften, to unclench, and to become capable of holding what we say we want. This track is both a challenge and an invitation to show up honestly.
