If this was the end,
2
then why did you have to pretend?
3
Pretend that everything was okay Pretend that your love wasn't slowly fading away Pretend neither of you and the straight
4
Lie to yourselves just so you could stay Stayed for us,
5
putting the divorce on delay Thinking we'd hurt less that way Why didn't you just walk away?
6
Why did it take having us to realize it anyway?
7
Why make us choose who gets our days?
8
We love both of you in different ways You tried to stay so we'd be okay
9
But somehow it hurt us more that way Why make us choose who gets our days?
10
Pack up our lives and switch our place You stayed for us or so you'd say But maybe you should've walked away
11
Maybe before you had us, everything was fine But then you both crossed the line, should we take the blame?
12
Were we the reason you never stayed the same?
13
Were we too young to see the signs?
14
Too young to read between the lines?
15
You said none of this was ours to blame Then why did we leave with all the shame?
16
Why didn't you just walk away?
17
Why did it take having us
18
To realize it anyway Make us choose who gets our days
19
We love both of you in different ways You try to stay so we'd be okay But somehow it hurt us,
20
no That way Why make us choose who gets our days?
21
Pack up our lives and switch our plays You stayed for us or so you'd say
22
But maybe you should've walked away Two different houses The same last name Two different lives that never felt the same
23
You both moved on And found your way While we're still living through that day Thought pretending would save our home,
24
but home isn't walls when love is gone Maybe leaving would have caused us pain,
25
but watching you stay broke us the same So why make us choose who gets our days?
26
We still love both of you In different ways Don't tell us you'll stay
27
So we'd be okay when we watched you fall apart Every day
28
If this was the end Why did you have to pretend?
29
Maybe the truth would've hurt anyway But you didn't have to stay

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
