Ran into you on the corner
Same coat, same walk
Didn't plan to look twice
But here we are
Paused in small talk
Your laugh felt like a rerun
But the plot's not mine to hold
We knew it, didn't we
Some stories don't unfold

You order tea, just like before
Two sugars, still no milk
I fake a smile that hurts my face
You ask if life's been chill
Do I mention how I cried
When your playlist played at random
Nah, let's keep it polite
Say nothing that might land wrong

I picture our photo, framed in dust
Like a neon sign left flickering in rust

Let's pretend we never met
No rewind, no cigarette
We're strangers in the streetlight haze
With nothing kind to second-guess
No late-night talks, no missed regret
Just two lives that never intersect
You'll nod, I'll laugh, and we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

You say, It's wild
The time we lost
I nod like I'm not counting
We speak in neutral metaphors
Like silence wasn't shouting
You reach to hug, instinct, not plan
My spine forgets the cost
You smell like past December
But I'm not that girl you lost

There's comfort in the fiction we arrange
Two actors, locked in separate change

Let's pretend we never met
No rewind, no silhouette
No car rides humming under rain
No songs we can't forget
No shared cafés or quiet threats
Just lives that barely brushed and left
We'll nod, we'll pass, and we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

If you dream of me, don't say
If you hear my name, just pray
It fades like cheap cologne
Familiar, then gone
We tried, we lied
We played grown-ups in disguise
Now we play ghosts passing by

Let's pretend we never met
No rewrite, no last sunset
We're echoes passing in the din
No origin, no end
No maybe-call, no what-if-left
Just parallel with zero depth
We'll nod, we'll pass, and we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

You walk off like a closing line
I turn, as if rehearsed
We vanish into separate nights
Unwritten, unreversed
Or maybe, we never met at all

Pretend We Never Met

Lights out, but I keep moving
Sleepwalk through what I'm choosing
I know this crash is overdue
But I still hit record for you

Die young, but make it trend
Post my breakdown, then pretend
Like I'm dancing in control
Autopilot in a hurricane, let's go
Spinning till the silence bends
Don't need brakes, I need revenge
If I burn, at least I glow
Autopilot in a hurricane, let's go

Heart is lagging, mind's on fire
Told myself I'd just retire
But I'm wired to perform
Till I'm pretty when I'm torn

Can't stop, I'm still uploading
Even pain looks good in posing
We're all just ghosts in neon skin
Uploading proof that we fit in

Die young, but make it trend
Post my breakdown, then pretend
Like I'm dancing in control
Autopilot in a hurricane, let's go
Spinning till the silence bends
Don't need brakes, I need revenge
If I burn, at least I glow
Autopilot in a hurricane, let's go

Can't feel, can't feel
Still real, still real
Crash me beautifully
Spin the wheel
Autopilot, autopilot, autopilot
Just let go
Just let go
Just let go

Die young, but make it trend
Post my breakdown, then ascend
We were dancing, lost and whole
Autopilot in a hurricane, let's go

Autopilot in a Hurricane
