I'm in the black again Can't make it back again We can just pretend We'll make it home again From everything now (Everything now)

Can't you see that it's just rainin' We could pretend it all the time There ain't no need to go outside You hardly even notice When I try to show you this Song is meant to keep you Wakin' up too early Maybe we could sleep in

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end And I am not fine, last night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend? "I just forgot you were there" (na na

And I wonder, can I give you what you need? Don't want to find I've lost it all Too scared to have no one to call I don't know if you mean everything to me So can we just pretend Ooh, I don't want this to break you Ooh, but I've got no one else to talk

And what we were, and what we are, If I could, take you there, You won't have to wonder what we are, I can pretend that I don't see you, If I could, for just one night, to be with you, to make it right, Is hidden, in the scars, Cause you wont have to

I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it Can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

Can't you see that it's just rainin' We could pretend it all the time There ain't no need to go outside You hardly even notice When I try to show you this Song is meant to keep you Wakin' up too early Maybe we could sleep in

We can just pretend We'll make it home again From everything now I'm in the black again Not coming back again I'm in the red again No space in my head again

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is

All I know is what I see, People think you're just so sweet, But they don't know you quite like I do. I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy, No matter how you cry, Do you think I'm crazy? And what can I do When you pretend that you're in love with me
