I Pretend

I hide from the world
Every feeling you'll never see
I hide from the world
Me

I pretend I don't see you
Pretend I no longer think of those eyes
I look completely through
You

You have something dear to me
And Id like it back
Collect it from the pile of debris
And give me my heart, the one with the crack

Straight through the middle
It shines
Straight through the middle
Those curvy, crooked lines

As I reach out
You place the object in my hands
As you pull away
Your hand gently touches mine

I think of that night
You promised me the world
Although I knew it was her
Instead of me, it felt all right

Ill stay by your side
You promised
In me, you must confide

I trusted you
And you stayed completely true
There with me, you stayed
Until the end of the day

Hand in hand
You walked with her
It had been planned
And I knew it was to occur

Yet my eyes could not help but cry
You held my face in your hands
You're so sad, why?
You didn't understand

In that same moment
You called me your best friend
Told me to keep my head up
This wasn't the end

Did you know?

I see you now
You and her are no longer together
I don'tnow how
I will ever

Look at you and smile
I don'tnow if
I should wait a while

To tell you I never meant to
Ignore your words
I was hurt
I was, as I thought, over you

You were good to me
And I gave you nothing in return
But you must see

It is for you I yearn
