Pretend

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, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 an 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, yeah, yeah, yeah

Let me tell you now

Can you hear me now, yeah

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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah

I pretend,

I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah

I, I take the longest walks, oh

I laugh to myself but

I pretend, yeah

I pretend
