Pretend

When you leave

I pretend

You still believe

And maybe this sore shall relieve

And again your heart I’ll receive

So I wait

And pretend

That you’re just late

And maybe you’re running to me straight

But again, with myself I debate

When you kneel

I pretend

My heart has healed

And maybe this love shall reveal

How we’ll bloom to feel the unreal

So I agreed

And pretend

It never bleeds

And maybe this time you’ll stay indeed

Our whole world I’ll let you lead

When you lie

I pretend

To ask you why

Hoping there’ll be guilt in your reply

But you walk away with your eyes dry

When you leave

I pretend

You still believe

And maybe this sore shall relieve

And your heart again I’ll receive
