Lyrics

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.

I know that the flame has burned out,

The love has left your eyes.

All that remains for me are the memories,

And these tears I cry.

But baby, can you understand,

How hard it is for me to face the end?

Please, just for tonight, pretend.

I'm movin' down the highway,

Come morning light.

I won't be turning back, you'll be free at last,

I've given up my fight.

But baby, there's a whole lot of darkness standin',

Between now and then.

Please, just for tonight, pretend,

Please, pretend:

One last tender kiss,

Please don't leave me,

Hangin' on the jagged edge like this.

Suffer me one more illusion,

Indulge this obsessive need.

I'm a prideful man,

Doin' the best I can,

With what's left of me.

I ain't looking for your pity, baby,

Just strength to live again.

Please, just for tonight, pretend.

Please, pretend:

One last tender kiss,

Please don't leave me,

Hangin' on the jagged edge like this.

Suffer me one more illusion,

Indulge this obsessive need.

I'm a prideful man,

Doin' the best I can,

With what's left of me.

I ain't looking for your pity, baby,

Just strength to live again.

Please, just for tonight, pretend,

Please, just for tonight, pretend,

Please, just for tonight, pretend.

Pretend,

Pretend,

Pretend.
