Pretending Lyrics

Pretending I don't miss you

Pretending I don't care

Pretending I don't miss the blonde highlights in your hair

Pretending I don't understand

Why you just came and went

Pretending we weren't broken, that we were just bent

Pretending all our memories

Are so far behind

But really they are closer than I'd like to mind

Pretending I don't notice

Making up lies

Pretending I don't miss the silver sparkle in your eyes

Why did you leave me,

Alone pretending not to hear?

Why did you leave me,

Alone with no way to steer?

I just pretend to everyone else near

But inside these walls I am riddled with fear

Why did you leave me,

Alone standing in my tears?

We grow up playing make believe

Escaping from our lives

We find a way to make a certain truth in our minds

Well I'm still playing make believe

And I'm all grown up

I can't get past the fact I can make it all up

I make up new memories

I make up new truths

I make up new ways that I never met you

But every time I do

I can sense you in the dark

Making me miss every little birthmark

Why did you leave me,

Alone pretending not to hear?

Why did you leave me,

Alone with no way to steer?

I just pretend to everyone else near

But inside these walls I am riddled with fear

Why did you leave me,

Alone standing in my tears?

Why did you leave me,

Alone pretending not to hear?

Why did you leave me,

Alone with no way to steer?

I just pretend to everyone else near

But inside these walls I am riddled with fear

Why did you leave me,

Alone standing in my tears?
