Pretending so hard
Doing so good
That I almost see things the way I should
And I get lost
In your thoughts
And agree with you the way I ought
Pretending so hard that I'm far from the truth
That I really haven't wasted all my youth
That I'm not at all like you, cause you're pretending too
Pretending so hard
That you're my friend
For reasons I can't defend
My broken heart isn't sad
I know you gave me everything you had
Pretending so hard that I'm far from the truth
That I really haven't wasted all my youth
That I'm not at all like you, cause you're pretending too
Is it better for us all if I live the letter of your law
Pretending so hard
That I'm not alone
I won't contemplate how I've grown
And withered away
At your feet
Trampled by the promises you didn't keep
Pretending so hard that I'm far from the truth
That I really haven't wasted all my youth
That I'm not at all like you, cause you're pretending too
