Pretend Songtext / Lyric

you took away from me i tried to get it back
and if you lie to me i keep it to myself
a trick or treat but then that don't make it right
i can't remember when i could say goodnight
then something comes into my head and then a change
i work it out somehow i guess i've got my ways
but then i wonder how did i get it wrong
it doesn't matter now

i pretend

i take the longest walks they always do me good
i just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues
but then i have to laugh it's an outlet too
and if i add it all it still just wouldn't do
i've come to realize there's nothing i can loose
so i control myself nothing else can do
i'll just remember when it comes around again
i'd rather be alone i won't get hurt again

i pretend

then something comes into my head and then a change
i work it out somehow i guess i've got my ways
i take the longest walks it always does me good
i just control myself

i pretend
