I can pretend for you.

I can pretend that I'm happy-
Fake a smile and call it a day.
But I don't see how that'll help
'Cause I'll still miss you either way.

I can pretend that I've moved on-
Say that I like someone when I don't.
But that takes effort that I don't have
So therefore, I can't and won't.

I can pretend that I don't need you-
Lie to whoever cares enough to ask.
But I can't lie to myself anymore
And I know people see through my mask.

I can pretend that I can still write-
Try to think of sentences with a clever start.
But it's hard to write a poem
When you have a broken heart.

There's this pain inside of me-
And I want so much for it to end.
But it won't, so it's just an ache
That makes it too hard to pretend.

SORRY, I WAS YOUNG AND I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE.
