Pretend

SInging it is easy, but saying it terrifies me So many cliches in songs that nobody says in converstion Like, I think about you all the time And you're always on my mind But the meaning's left behind in rotation Radio plays it everyday Until I feel there's nothing new to say And lyrics don't work face-to-face And i don't kow if I could take the humiliation Of telling you what's on my mind Cos what I really feel doesn't rhyme And there's no melody to hide behind But I can always pretend My emotions have a start and an end Just like this song does And I can always pretend It's not about you, it's not about you If games are for children I gues I got some growing up to do Cos it ain't anyone who'll listen Means I'll never have to tell you what you mean to me Just in case you turn me down Cos if my music's not your style All you have to do is turn me down But I can always pretend My emotions have a start and an end Just like this song does And I can always pretend It's not about you, it's not about you All the smoking mirrors that I use to tell my version of the truth They cover me and make me look much stronger And to you I'm right where I belong I can say what I want and do no wrong Cos it's only a song, it's only a song But I can always pretend My emotions have a start and an end Just like this song does And I can always pretend It's not about you, it's not about you
