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.

You took away from me I tried to get it back

And if you lie to me I keep it to myself

A trick or treat but then that don't make it right

I can't remember when I could say goodnight

Then something comes into my head and then a change

I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways

But then I wonder how did I get it wrong

It doesn't matter now

I pretend

I pretend

I take the longest walks they always do me good

I just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues

But then I have to laugh cause it's and outlet too

And if I add it all it still just wouldn't do

I've come to realize there's nothing I can lose

So I control myself nothing else to do

I'll just remember when it comes around again

I'd rather be alone I won't get hurt again

I pretend

I pretend

Then something comes into my head and then a change

I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways

I take the longest walks it always does me good

I just control myself

I pretend

I pretend
