I was right the first time
|
But I outguessed myself
|
You sympathized so sweetly
|
When you sent me to hell
|
What have I got to complain for
|
Had to throw myself overboard
|
Like to see that my dues are paid
|
It's just the way I was made
|
|
And when I cry, I was burning inside
|
You're out there pretending
|
And though I lie, I had nothing to hide
|
You're the one who's pretending
|
|
I live in anticipation
|
Things that never occurred
|
Turned my back to the loving ones
|
On the strength of your word
|
What's the answer I'm looking for
|
You mix your meanings with metaphors
|
Glass bricks and a ten foot wall
|
You really don't care at all
|
|
And when I came to relieve all the pain
|
You were somewhere pretending
|
And I'm still here, and it's still just as clear
|
That you're only pretending
|
|
I believe in believing
|
And I hope that there's still hope for me
|
'Cause I need to be needing
|
And you're free to be free as you please
|
But I'm not the kind
|
Who can live with life
|
And I never could
|
'Cause I'm just no good at pretending
|
|
What's the truth after all this time
|
Is it your perception or is it mine
|
Sometimes you're better off alone
|
You can't get blood from a stone
|
|
And while you cry, I'll be laughing inside
|
'Cause I know you're pretending
|
Look me straight in the eye
|
When I tell you good bye
|
'Cause I won't be pretending
|
You could beg me and fall down on your knees
|
But you'd just be pretending
|
Maybe someday you'll have something to say
|
And you won't be pretending
|
