Pretend, and Tiptoe

She pretends it’s no big deal 

She wants to speak, you know 

Just trivial things, no big reveal 

But today is a day to tiptoe 

 

He pretends she’s no good anyway 

She’s really just too much though

She is a silly goose every day 

But today is a day to tiptoe 

 

She pretends to be just friends 

Although this crush just won’t go 

She senses his shifts and trends 

So she knows today is a day to tiptoe 

 

He pretends nothing should be said 

As though his feelings shouldn’t show 

For him it is safer to tread 

So he knows today is a day to tiptoe 

 

She pretends that his handsome face 

Doesn’t affect her at the show 

She shoves it down with a little grace 

For today is a day to tiptoe 

 

 
He pretends it is better to be without 

Affairs of the heart just cause woe 

Being busy is a much safer route 

For today is a day to tiptoe
