Pretenders.

by Unseen Exposure   Aug 18, 2004



You try to pretend you're different,
But you're just like everyone else,
I think it's time you understood,
You only care about yourself,

You tried to make me believe,
That all your words came from the heart,
I don't know what I was thinking,
I must have been in the dark,

I don't know who you think you are,
And I don't know why you chose to lie,
But I'm tired and I'm weak,
The last thing I want to do is cry,

So forgive me for being wrong,
I guess I just didn't know,
That all your comfort and listening,
Was part of your big show,

Except, there's one last thing,
One detail I didn't explain,
I'm finding that I'm falling for you,
More and more every day,

It must have been part of your plan,
To trap me, then let me go,
But I wish you would have told me,
I just wish I would have known,

You knew I couldn't handle being broken,
Because I was just beginning to mend,
Someone tell me why hearts are so cruel,
… And why when it comes to me, other's always pretend.
