She's Just Pretending Lyrics

She walks through the door with a painted-on smile

But I see the sorrow she's hidin' inside

She laughs at my jokes, says she's doin' just fine

But I know the truth by the look in her eyes

She's just pretendin' that she still loves me

Holdin' on to a dream that"s too broken to be

She's playin' a part, but her heart ain"t , in it

She's here in my arms, but she Just left me, In a minute

She still wears my ring but it don't mean a thing

Her touch is as cold as a late winter rain

She whispers "I love you," but there"s no conviction

It's all just a beautiful, sad contradiction

She's just pretendin' that she still loves me

Holdin' on to a dream that"s too broken to be

She's playin' a part, but her heart ain"t , in it

She's here in my arms, but she Just left me, In a minute

I could beg her to stay, but it wouldn"t be right

Love ain"t real if you"re losin' the fight

So I'll set her free, though it's tearin' me down

I won't be the fool who"s still stickin around

Tomorrow she'll leave, and I"ll watch her go

I'll stand in the doorway and just let her know

I loved her too much to keep her confined

And I pray that she finds what she's missin' in time

She's just pretendin' that she still loves me

Holdin' on to a dream that"s too broken to be

She's playin' a part, but her heart ain"t , in it

She's here in my arms, but she Just left me, In a minute

She's here in my arms… but she Just left me, In a minute
