Pretending

I'm holding back my love tonight

I'll never let it out of sight

Though you're not coming back

The things you whispered in my ear

I'm treasuring as souvenirs

And I'm not letting them go

I'll never give you up

Though I know I should

Even when you said you'd never leave

I knew you would

So here I am now

Talking to no one making conversation

Pretending we were in love

Believing my wishes needs no explanation

Pretending isn't enough

I can't go on like this anymore

Just hoping that you'll walk thru that door

Dreaming pretending

You could be real once more

I can't explain the way I feel

But the scars you left me through the test

But the coming home to emtiness

Is far too much to beat
