Pretend

All I ever have to do now is pretend
I pretend how everything with me is okay
So that family and friends will look the other way
And I won’t have to hear them say
What I know needs to be said
So I pretend
I pretend that I’m back in your loving arms
Finding myself lost deep in your charms
Knowing all the while this could cause me harm
Yet still it’s the only way to have you again
And from this I won’t bend
So I pretend
I pretend we now live a happy life together
Beating the odds and the storms we weather
Crazy I know I fully comprehend
But my heart still won’t mend
So I pretend
I pretend all this each night and day
Whatever I do it will not go away
It’s here and here is where it’s going to stay
And I’m afraid
I’ll never see you again
I don’t want this all to end
So all my love to you I send
And until then
I will still
Pretend
