In CNCO's song "Pretend," the narrator expresses his unrequited love for someone who is in a relationship with someone else. He is struggling to keep his feelings in check and is trying to pretend that he doesn't love them, even though they are always on his mind. He is trying to resist the temptation to act on his feelings, and instead is waiting for the other person to make the first move. He is trying to remain hopeful that one day they will be together, but for now he must pretend.

I only love you in the middle of the night
That's when you're on my mind
Every time I get the feeling I can't fight
And I know it just ain't right
On the verge of losing you again
Now that you're so inside my skin
I don't know what I can do if you're with him
But for now we just pretend
You let me know whenever you want
And I'll pretend you don't exist
I'm still here on your waiting list
Yeah, I gotta Love When I'm Involved
Yeah, I gotta show it, so it's my fault
Starin' at a problem we can't solve
Maybe it's passion, seeing you without condition
Calming this addiction, I call love
I only love you in the middle of the night
That's when you're on my mind
Every time I get the feeling I can't fight
And I know it just ain't right
On the verge of losing you again
Now that you're so inside my skin
I don't know what I can do if you're with him
But for now we just pretend
But for now we just pretend
And only as if he were a wolf
I dream that a kiss will steal from you
For me that would be everything
Always looking up, la-la-la-la
Never kiss and tell, that's a no-no
Got it so good, never let go
Maybe it's passion, seeing you without condition
Calming this addiction, I call love
I only love you in the middle of the night
That's when you're on my mind
Every time I get the feeling I can't fight
And I know it just ain't right
On the verge of losing you again
Now that you're so inside my skin
I don't know what I can do if you're with him
But for now we just pretend
But for now we just pretend
But for now we just pretend
I only love you in the middle of the night
That's when you're on my mind
Every time I get the feeling I can't fight
And I know it just ain't right
On the verge of losing you again
Now that you're so inside my skin
I don't know what I can do if you're with him
But for now we just pretend
I only love you in the middle of the night
That's when you're on my mind
Every time I get the feeling I can't fight
And I know it just ain't right
On the verge of losing you again
Now that you're so inside my skin
I don't know what I can do if you're with him
But for now we just pretend
