I Never Pretended

I Pretended To Be Strong
when he threw my heart away
I Pretended Not To Care
when he gave his love to her
I Pretended To Be Happy
when we only could be friends
I Pretended For So Long-
but then you came along.

You Made Me So Happy
when you showed me love and care
You Made My Day Complete
when you'd offer a hug and a smile
You Made Me Smile
when we'd talk for hours on the phone
With You, I Was Complete-
but disaster came along.

I Pretended To Be Strong
when I said I'd be ok
I Pretended Not To Care
when I saw you with her
I Pretended To Be Ok
when we couldn't even be friends
I Pretended It Was Alright
when you walked away
I Pretended For So Long-
but when I was with you, I never pretended.

I Never Pretended
my love and care for you
I Never Denied
that you made me completely happy
I Never Lied
when I said you were my one and only
I Never Pretended-
but you were different.

You Lied
when you said you'd never hurt me
You Tried To Hide
when you couldn't face the problem
You Walked Away
when I said we could work things out
You Didn't Even Try
to be my friend
You Never Said Goodbye-
or told me that you were sorry.

The last I heard
you don't regret a thing
I'll pretend that doesn't hurt me
and that I'll be ok.
I'll just keep pretending
even though you made it this way
but just remember-
when I was with you
I NEVER PRETENDED AT ALL!
