Pretend

The other night I had a dream

A ghost of the past came back to haunt me

You were by my side when I fell asleep

But when I woke the next morning

You were nowhere to be seen

Forcing me to relive those painful memories...

I remember all those tears that I cried

I remember the many sleepless nights

I couldn't face the truth so I denied

Said there was nothing wrong

But we were far from fine

I remember the unbearable pain

I remember how I kept it all locked away

On the inside

I remember the mask I used to help me hide

I remember how I carved those scars

I remember how I broke her heart

I remember being left in the dark

I remember how easily we fell apart

But maybe there's still time

Maybe you and me can make it right

I love you and I don't want to fight

I believe together we can find the light

Ride the storm

And come out on the other side

I don't know about you but I can't deny

That we have something special

You and I

I'm scared by the thought that I could happen again

And I'll lose someone else

Who to me is much more than 'just a friend'

What we have is heaven sent

But because of me we lost touch

And I've felt empty since then

You should know

That you've become the heartbeat on which I depend

And I don't want all that's good about us to end

I hope that I'll wake up someday soon

And realise that all my worst nightmares

Were just pretend.
