Pretend (Much Closer)

When she walks by i burn
she speaks, when will it be his turn
as i walk down this hall
i stop and put my back against the wall
can't stare at her too long
i know something's wrong

i walk away
and try to ignore the things she says
those words, they hurt
he's all she talks about
her friends, they laugh
as i pretend i don't hear

she'll ask if i know
and I'll pretend and say no
i walk down this hall
and pretend to know nothing at all
how much longer can i pretend
when will this come to an end
stop this my happy friend

they want me to speak up
but look at me
she got much closer than i thought she did
look at me
i fell much harder than i thought i could
listen to me
I've said more than i knew i should....
