Pretending Lyrics

Sometimes

I think your smiles are real

That you feel what I feel

Sometimes

You act as if you know

That my heart is yours to own

I'm by your side

But you're forever blind

Can't you see

What we could be

Why are we pretending?

Sometimes

That mask fades away

And a fire burns inside

For a moment

We fall into a dream

And I never want to wake without you

I wish I could open my eyes

Why am I forever blind?

It's real to me

So painfully

Why are we pretending?

You're on my mind / You are my light

You are my constant star / We're written in the stars

When I hold you / when you hold me

Suddenly, you are my world / Everything's right in the world

There's so much you need to know

I'd give you everything

If only

If only

I could open my eyes / I could open your eyes

Why am I forever blind? / But you're forever blind

It's real to me / Why can't you see

So painfully / What we could be

Why are we pretending? / Why are we pretending?

I wish I could open my eyes /There's so much I have to say

Why am I forever blind? /You're with me but you're worlds away

Where you are

Is where I'll stay

Why are we pretending?

There's so much you'll never say

So I'm leaving

It's the only way
