I’ll pretend I don’t
But I do
I’ll pretend I don’t
But I always will

I’ll go on
As if everything
Is going ok
But it isn’t

I’ll smile a smile
That isn’t a smile
And laugh a laugh
That isn’t a laugh

I’ll pretend I don’t
But I do
I’ll pretend I don’t
But I always will

Love her
I do
And always will

But I’ll pretend
That I don’t
Because she needs me to

I can see in your eyes
How much you want
To love me
(like you used to)
But you saw too deep
The darkness in me
And the love
In your eyes
Was replaced by fear

I can feel in your touch
The tremble
That used to be love
But you saw too deep
The darkness in me
And the tremble
That was once love
Now is from uncertainty

I warned you that
There were parts of me
That could not be loved
Those demons in me
They may be old
But they’re still there
With shadows too deep
And blood stained hands

I can hear it in your voice
The guilt when you realized
You lied when you said
Your love would be forever
But don’t…
You loved me once
And that’s more
Than I deserved
And for that
I’ll love you evermore
