Pretend

~

I spare no love for our sad attempts at talking
These embers are dying out while we think of things to say
And every time I try, you shoot me down
But really, how much farther can you push me away?

I see we're back to playing our game of pretend
Until the lies and the tears come back once again
And I thought it would be different now; I guess I was wrong
But can you blame me for wanting it to be more than make believe?

Even when you hold me I don't know what to feel anymore
And I know you're just waiting 'til it's time to pull away
You keep saying I'm not the girl you used to know
But you should know I'm not the only one who's changed.
