i could pretend that i don't care

i could pretend that you're not here


i could pretend the love is gone

i could pretend i'll get along


but that is just what i would do

pretend i can live, without you

but reality crashes in on me

without you,

i'm empty


i could pretend i'll do okay

i could pretend i'll find a way


i could pretend someone new will come

i could pretend they'll be the one


but that is just what i would do

pretend i can live, without you

but reality crashes in on me

without you,

i'm empty


I could pretend to wear a smile

i could pretend happiness for a while


i could pretend i don't miss you

i could pretend, but it just won't do


but that is just what i would do

pretend i can live, without you

but reality crashes in on me

without you,

i'm empty
