Lyrics
I Just Pretend
Verse
I've been living in sorrow, behind this curtain of tears
It shuts out the light that used to brighten my day
My will to love, has disappeared, has disappeared
Verse
You had the voice of an angel, your eyes would cut to my soul
If I'd only spoken the words that you were longing to hear
I still might have, your hand to hold, your hand to hold
Chorus
So I pretend that I change and I'm good to you
I take back all those hurtful words I used
I pretend your heart still beats with mine
So I pretend
I just pretend
Verse
Tonight I?ll dream of a genie, who grants the only wish that I need
She?ll nod her head blink her eyes, and through this curtain of tears
Bring you back, back home to me, back home to me
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge
All you left me were some withered rose memories
Casting shadows on my bed every night
When I reach out for you all I feel is a cold breeze
So I pretend
I pretend that I change and I'm good to you
I take back all those hurtful words I used
I pretend your heart still beats with mine
So I pretend,
I just pretend
