Let's Pretend This Never Happened

Let's pretend what you did to me,
Never really hurt me.
Let's pretend
I never really cried.
Let's pretend
We never really fell for each other.
Let's pretend
I didn't believe your lies.

I want to go back in time
Before I knew you
And what heartache was like.
I want to go back
When I felt invincible
And how I knew I was alive.

You took away what meant most to me;
My hope,
My dignity,
My courage,
My trust.
I wish I never believed you from the start.

I should have seen the signs,
They were in front of my face
But I was too afraid they'd be right.

I knew what everyone was saying,
I should have walked away right then and there.
But I wanted to prove them wrong,
Make them eat their words.
Instead,
I was the one who got burned.

If you knew how much pain
You caused me,
It'd last a lifetime times two.
But you won't know,
'Cause you never listen.
And I guess my feelings just don't show.
