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
