She'Ll Pretend

One day I'll burn bright 
Their faces, 
all full of fright - 

Do you feel better now? 

Just look, 
It isn't hard to see. 

You'll watch 
As she falls to the ground - 

Do you feel like a man? 

Will you laugh 
At the pain that was brought? 

She'll lie to you - 

Say it doesn't hurt 
But, 
She'll know it does. 

Will you watch her burn? 

Do you care. 
She's breaking down. 

Everyday it's going down. 

But she'll play off 
That she's strong. 

Face down in the dirt... 
When will you 
Give up? 

Will you move on? 
She never will. 

Will you forgive her? 
She'll pretend to forget you. 

She's finally had enough. 

Until her pain goes away 
She'll pretend your nothing 
Lost, gone away.
