I can’t pretend that the pain is not for real and that my heart isn’t breaking
I can’t pretend that I don’t love him and that I don’t feel like dying
I can’t pretend that I am happy and that soon I’ll be alright
I can’t pretend that the tears are not falling and that they’re out of sight
I can’t pretend that the dream is not over and that I don’t feel any pain
I can’t pretend that I’m doing fine and I’m not going insane
I can’t pretend that I’m not hurting and I can easily make a start
I can’t pretend that he loves me too and that he didn’t break my heart
I can’t pretend that he doesn’t love her and that he is still free
I can’t pretend that I’m inside his heart and he wants to be with me
I can’t pretend and no I will not play the game of charades
I’ll just let the pain consume me and hope it slowly fades
