Pretend

All I ever have to do now is pretend I pretend how everything with me is okay So that family and friends will look the other way And I won’t have to hear them say What I know needs to be said So I pretend I pretend that I’m back in your loving arms Finding myself lost deep in your charms Knowing all the while this could cause me harm Yet still it’s the only way to have you again And from this I won’t bend So I pretend I pretend we now live a happy life together Beating the odds and the storms we weather Crazy I know I fully comprehend But my heart still won’t mend So I pretend I pretend all this each night and day Whatever I do it will not go away It’s here and here is where it’s going to stay And I’m afraid I’ll never see you again I don’t want this all to end So all my love to you I send And until then I will still Pretend
