I'll Pretend For Tonight

I'll Pretend For Tonight
~ This are lyrics to a song i've written called I'll Pretend For Tonight

So let the rain fall and drown my tortured soul
Cause at this point I don't care anymore
I've had more then my share of pain
Cried more tears then I ever imagined
Lost myself in your promises and lies
And now I don't know where to stand

So go ahead and let me down again
And I'll believe all you have to say
Just for tonight baby
I'll pretend I don't feel a thing
Just sit here beside you holding your hand
And I'll pretend
And I'll pretend

And so the night goes on
Strumming along like a love song
And I start to forget what it feels like to be alive
As I lay here in your arms tonight
You look at me suddenly
And I can't let my fears show
I can't let you know I'm so afraid to let you go

So go ahead and let me down again
And I'll believe all you have to say
Just for tonight baby
I'll pretend I don't feel a thing
Just sit here beside you holding your hand
And I'll pretend
And I'll pretend

So the night comes to an end
And suddenly the stars don't shine so bright
And I'm holding on to you so tight
Afraid that if I let go I'll fall apart
But I guess you don't see my pain
Cause you let me go with a whisper goodbye
And I stare at you as you go away
Hoping I don't break just yet

And so you're gone again
Letting me down like I thought you would
Telling me you love me and then walking away
As if you don't mean a thing you say
Just killing me softly with your words
Promising me more than I can bare
And walking away
Just walking away

Oooh ooh baby don't walk away
Ooh don't leave me alone
But you're already gone..ooh

So go ahead and let me down again
And I'll believe all you have to say
Just for tonight baby
I'll pretend I don't feel a thing
Just sit here beside you holding your hand
And I'll pretend
And I'll pretend

And this is the way it will always be
Nothing more for me to see
Cause you've shown me everything I need to see
(Ooh everything I need to see)
You showed me tonight
But I'll still pretend I'm alright
When I see you again another night
Just for you to hold me

Just so that I can be in your arms
Just for tonight
Oh baby I'll pretend I'm alright
I'll pretend with you tonight
Ooh I'll just pretend...(fades)
