I Can'T Pretend
I CAN'T PRETEND
I CAN’T PRETEND, I DON’T KNOW YOU ANYMORE
IT’S WRITTEN ALL OVER MY FACE. YOUR PRESENCE OCCUPY MY HEART
SPACE.
I CAN'T PRETEND, YOU ARE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
I AM TIRED OF FIGHTING TO PUT YOU IN THE BACK OF MY
MIND.
I CAN'T PRETEND ANYMORE, WHEN IM NEAR YOU, I HAVE BUTTERFLIES
ALL DAY LONG. I'VE COME TO LOVE THESE BUTTERFLIES!!!
I CAN'T PRETEND, YOU DON’T MATTER, AND I CAN’T PRETEND
I’M OKAY WITH US JUST BEING FRIENDS.
I CAN'T PRETEND, YOU ARE ALL I THINK ABOUT. YOU
ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND. WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
YOU ARE ALL I SEE. JUST LET ME LOVE THEE
I CAN’T PRETEND, I’M STRONG WHEN IT’S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE,
ALL I DO IS GO BACK TO MY ROOM AND CRY.
MY REALITY IS, I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
I JUST CAN'T PRETEND.
