Pretending to Forget Lyrics

I thought I'd moved on, left it all behind

Days without you seemed so easy to find

Nights out with friends, trips to faraway lands

I convinced myself I was doing just fine

But the laughter's gone silent, tears take their place

Your absence lingers in every space

I'm living a lie, saying I'm alright

When your voice echoes, haunting every night

Maybe we loved for far too long

I thought I'd be lost without you, but I'm standing strong

Yet smiles don't come easy, tears fall instead

Your memory lingers, spinning in my head

We loved for so long, now it's hard to let go

I tell myself I'm okay, try to believe

That without you, I can finally breathe

But in quiet moments, when the world slows down

Your scent, your laugh, it's all still around

Your smile flashes before my eyes

I'm caught in a web of my own lies

Desperately wanting to hold you near

Pretending I'm fine, year after year

Maybe we loved for far too long

I thought I'd be lost without you, but I'm standing strong

Yet smiles don't come easy, tears fall instead

Your memory lingers, spinning in my head

We loved for so long, now it's hard to let go

I'm not okay, I miss you so

These lies I tell myself, they just won't let go

Wanting to see you, to hold you tight

Another day passes, another sleepless night

I'll keep on lying, to make it through

Another day without you
