make pretend

The memories are still clear

We still love in my mind

A past that refuses to be forgotten

To think of you when she is near

There is no excuse to make it right

I only know I’ll get no sleep tonight

So I lay here and fear, the best parts of me are gone

And pretend to move on

Yeah I lay here and fear, I’ll always be singing her song

As I pretend to move on

These eyes need help to see

Even in sunlight they lose time

But no darkness can mask her outline

To live with the sight, become defined by the fight

What do you hold on for

When you’ve forgotten why you hold on

So I lay here and fear, the best parts of me are gone

And pretend to move on

Yeah I lay here and fear, I’ll always be singing her song

As I pretend to move on

The phone lines can go dead

It can’t stop the dreams

Is it still cheating if your eyes are closed

Counting down till the next roll over

A blinking clock is what you crave

Anything to take the deadline away

So I lay here and fear, the best parts of me are gone

And pretend to move on

Yeah I lay here and fear, I’ll always be singing her song

As I pretend to move on
