Pretend That We Don't Know Each Other

I see you, and you see me
But we don't talk to each other
I talk to our friends, you also talk to them
But we don't talk to each other

We are in the same room, with the same group of people
But we pretend that we don't know each other
This isn't what we used to do before
Our strings have been cut by my scissors called stupidity

Or maybe... it was just me
Who thinks that you really don't talk to me
Maybe you just don't talk to me
Because you don't have any reason to do it, anyway

Or maybe there's something that keeps you from talking to me
And for me, there is, too
But there's a part of me that prefers this setup
Until my feelings for you will come to a stop
