Pretense

Pretense I felt bad. But not bad enough. It's really all I ever had. Waking up to reality is tough. That was your choice. I believed a lie. The truth was right there. You didn't even try. Why am I asking myself why? Why do I even care? I shouldn't think twice. Who were you to give me any advice? You'd say anything now to repair your broken vow. You'd lie again to keep the pretense. I won't stand in your defense. You played with my heart until it all fell apart. Should I care that your empty promises were going nowhere? I shouldn't think twice. Who were you to give me any advice? You'd say anything now to repair your broken vow. You'd lie again to keep the pretense. I won't stand in your defense. Your pretense. Your offence. No defense. I shouldn't think twice. Who were you to give me any advice? You'd say anything now to repair your broken vow. You'd lie again to keep the pretense. I won't stand in your defense.
