Why 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.
Don't look at me
I know what you've done
When the night falls
She's not the only one
It's been the same
For a thousand years
You won't change your ways
You don't seem to care
She is lying
To herself again
You don't love her
Why pretend?
You are lying
To yourself again
You don't love her
Why pretend?
I know the truth
I'm not blind, you know
I keep telling you
That it's time to let her go
I am a bad friend
You know it's true
For the guilt I feel
I blame you, 'cause
She is lying
To herself again
You don't love her
Why pretend?
You are lying
To yourself again
You don't love her
Why pretend?
She doesn't notice
What everyone around her
Everyone around her sees
Why won't she focus?
You only give a shit
When she's on her knees
She is lying
To herself again
You can't love her
Why pretend?
You are lying
To yourself again
You can't love her
Why pretend?
She wants your ring
She'll do anything
To tie you down
She'll ignore where you've been
She wants your ring
She'll do anything
She'll turn away and pretend
You love her
She'll pretend
