John Loving Iii Poet Lyric

Pretending (A Song)

Pretending,
in the depths of my lost mind
My dreams, formed inside my head
We'd be so happy, now and then
But troubles they come
as if troubles always do
We get to the point
where we say that we're through

I pretend to break up with you
 just so I can make up with you
I'd miss the words "I love you"
 and I'd miss saying "I love you too"
I wanna miss your arms around me
 miss that kiss that soothes me
 miss that singing voice that woo's me
I wanna miss breaking up with you
 just so I can make up with you

Pretending,
just a waste of my time
I love you, even though your not mine
My dreams, born inside my head
We'd be so happy, every now and then
But the storms they come,
like storms always do
I get to the point
where i say that I'm through

I pretend to break up with you
 just so I can make up with you
I'd miss the words "I love you"
and I miss saying "I love you too"
I wanna miss your arms around me
 miss that kiss that soothes me
 miss that singing that woo's me
I wanna miss breaking up with you
 just so I can make up with you

Pertending,
inside i'm doing fine
Above you, a poor heart that is mine
My dreams, going on inside my head
We'd be so happy, every now and then
But fears they come
 just like fears always do
We get to the point
 where we're afraid to say I love you

I pretend to break up with you
 just so I can make up with you
I'd miss the words "I love you"
and I miss saying "I love you too"
I wanna miss your arm's around me
 miss that kiss that soothes me
 miss that singing that woo's me
I wanna miss breaking up with you 
 just so I can make up with you.

Corinne Curcio January 10, 2009 at 12:52 PM Nicely done - I like the hook of "I I pretend to break up with you Just so I can make up with you" Be careful of the Yoda-speak though, as in My dreams, formed inside my head Troubles they come Above you, a poor heart that is mine Don't use those just for the sake of a rhyme. You need a bit more variety in the lyrics, Too much repetition. Take the good lines, trim away the fat, and add some more meat.

Sharon Winter December 30, 2008 at 5:31 PM You're so funny! Now are you being sarcastic? I am out of it today with a yucky stomach flu, so I probably shouldn't even be commenting as I am starting to look back to see what I wrote and thinking uh-oh. But, you made me laugh! Happy everything & thanks, I think! ~lol~ Love, Shar

Breana Wiggins December 30, 2008 at 5:28 PM nice write...i can picture this as a song... *breana

Sharon Winter December 30, 2008 at 5:03 PM As I was reading this, I was thinking, wow - this would make a great song. ~lol~ Then of course I noticed Lryic (and oh yeah 'A Song' in parenthesis). I can be so 'duh'. Super excellent love song everyone can relate to. Well done sir. Do you write music too? Enjoyed very much! A beautiful new year to you and yours. Love, Shar

Robin L. Gass December 30, 2008 at 10:22 AM John this is wonderful. Like Michaela, I could here it as a song (just don't know your tune). I like the theme. Great write! Glad you liked Dream Feast. Happy New Year! Love, Robin

Sara Lokken December 30, 2008 at 9:40 AM A very sweet song to that special someone.:) I hope she read it? Thanks for your comments. Take care and happy '09! Best wishes, Sara

Michaela Payne December 30, 2008 at 8:19 AM John this was an awesome song, I can really picture it as a song cause it moved and had rhythm. Awesome job. Blessings, ~Michaela~
