Just Pretend
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.
While I held you with our undry eyes
Happy years pass by
It's OK to cry
After all
In the end
Just pretend
Well it's sticks and stones
and broken homes
that taught us how to smile
After all
In the end
Just pretend
There's a name that plays in my head
like a song
all day long
she's with me every day
After all
In the end
Just pretend
Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs
If the sun can't shine
you'll be just fine
look into your mind
where you're free
After all
In the end
Just pretend
Cause we heard each other
once before
lets not do that again
After all
In the end
Just pretend
And a voice so familiar
wakes me up in the middle
if she thinks I'm having a bad dream
After all
In the end
Just pretend
Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs
After all
It's the end
