Pretending As Always
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I looked at the ground, it's filled with lies
When you got lost, I got so lonely
Give it time, don't move on
Let it dry, time's passing by so slowly
Bored like face, I keep it straight
Cause no one knows, I only have dark days
New look, no use
Pain in my face, pretending as always
And these are the bright days
In my dreams I'll make you want me
One more time, the sun will shine
Cause they won't love you like I love you
You still make me cry..
Grieves make numb everyday
How does it come and get lost on the speedway
No joy or delight
Just prove me to bed so I can shut my eyes tight
(Did you love him like you know you should)
I was in it for the long run, yeah yeah
(Did you ever feel the same again)
There's no turning back cause my heart has been long gone
(Did you love him like you know you should)
There's no turning back
(Did you ever feel the same again)
In my dreams I'll make you want me
One more time, the sun will shine
No, they won't love you like I love you
You still make me cry..
In my dreams I'll make you want me
One more time, the sun will shine
Cause they won't love you like I love you
You still make me cry..
