Pretending Won'T Get Us Anywhere

I don’t want to see you go But, there is no other choice… Dancing in the fire of woe, Trying to find that inner voice… If you’re looking for some trouble, Get lost in the midst of my rubble You left without second glance You had your chance with me… Yeah, you had your chance Please don’t make me wait for You To shine a little light in my direction Don’t make me feel guilty and blue Help me…blow away my infection… Conquer me with Your gracious hope… And, if you can, can you help me cope – Cope with these feelings that kill me softly I’m addicted to this sorrow that hurts me That hurts me to the point when I can’t feel anymore I’m becoming numb…and I don’t know what I’m living for Wishing hopelessly that I can live my fantasy for a long time as I see fit Don’t make me wait forever in this terrain – emptiness and tears is what’s left of it For a while longer, I’d like to see you smile I’d run the extra mile just to visit your isle Faking happiness is the last thing that you should do in front of me Pretend to forgive and forget and move on from the past of vanity Just pretend… That this is not the end… Just pretend… These scars will mend… I don’t mind being here While you hold me dear But, don’t lie to me in my face… Making me feel like a disgrace Believe it or not, we can get along again As long as we get out of this lion’s den Under pressure… Beyond measure… We’re just pretending…never-ending… Maybe we aren’t in danger…I can’t believe what I’m seeing We’re just pretending…never-ending… Maybe we’re full of anger…let’s separate for the time being
