When I Pretend
Thoughts of you keep running through my head
Images I just want to forget
I look in the mirror and put on a happy face
But nobody sees it, and I don't believe it
I bought into every word you said
I never thought it's something I'd regret
I look at you now and wonder who I see
I'm lost in the frenzy, and it's neverending
The way we used to talk all night
I still get butterflies when I go there again
Oh, I see the way you used to smile
If only for a while
But only if I pretend
If I could draw the world I want to see
I know just how I'd picture it to be, mmm
I stand here alone and know that it all was real
You say you don't need it
I know you don't mean it
And I don't believe it
The way we used to talk all night
I still get butterflies when I go there again
I see the way you used to smile
If only for a while
But only if I pretend
Oh, I'm where I want to be
Don't you wake me from this dream
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, yea yea
When I go there again, mmm mm
Oh, I see the way you used to smile
If only for a while
The way we used to talk all night
I still get butterflies when I go there again, again
Oh, I see the way you used to smile
If only for a while
But only if I pretend
Only if I pretend
