Michael Brecker (At Least We Can Always Pretend) Video (MV)

You come to me talking real fast
Just like you were a skipping record
And I should've been much more upfront about my track record
What's more, I never thought that I could play the home-wrecker
Guess I truly thought that you could be my Michael Brecker
Well me for you and you for me
And that's the way it was
And it was great--until we no longer felt the buzz
We stacked our hearts so high
Our love, a double-decker
I want a love of steel
But you can't be my Bekaert
I wanted you to be
Somebody that you're not
I wanted to be
Somebody that I'm not
You come to me talking real fast, just like you were a skipping record
You said that I had lied: you were my fact-checker
Not barring my omission of how my past is checkered
You can't be my Michael Brecker
I thought I was safe with you
You were my hallowed ground
But I can only hide my true feelings when you're around
Darling please understand, my altered track record
The only one I've loved is just a boy named Michael Brecker
Oh--you can't be my Michael Brecker
No, you can't be my Michael Brecker
Darling when you say you hate me
It can really irritate me
All this crying and berating me--it's really irritating
Never meant to shut you out
I guess I should just shut my mouth
I never meant to seem like lying
Darling, shut it--please quit crying
