I c o u l d pretend nothing ever happened,

I c o u l d pretend we were fine,

But we b o t h know that that's not the truth,

And I've been taught not to l i e.

I c o u l d pretend that the future is easy,

I c o u l d pretend that I have no flaws,

I c o u l d pretend I crave praise,

That I l i v e on the applause.

I c o u l d pretend I've forgotten,

I c o u l d be best friends with you,

I c o u l d lie and say I'm not hurt,

But what good would that do?
