Post 284: Pretend (4/11/10)

Pretend (1/27/10 c, 4/11/10 w)

I’m tired of keeping my chin up

Tired of smiling when I want to cry
But I can’t ever let a tear fall from my eyes
I cannot show defeat, though I’ll never win
Where do I have to start then

Pretend

That I have it all together
Pretend that I haven’t lost, lost my way
Pretend that this will all get better
Pretend that I haven’t wasted my life
Now that it has slipped away
All I can do is pretend and hope it gets better
Every day

I’ve giving up chasing that star

I’m tired of reaching, but it is always too far
Maybe, maybe happiness will find me
Or this is just a test
But shouldn’t my life have found me, found me yet

Pretend

That I have it all together
Pretend that I haven’t lost, lost my way
Pretend that this will all get better
Pretend that I haven’t wasted my life
Now that it has slipped away
All I can do is pretend and hope it gets better
Every day

It seems that I’ll always be hoping for someone else’s life

The life I thought I would see, so far has eluded me
And there is nothing, nothing I have that will pull me through
As my dreams fade away, they fade away

Pretend
That I have it all together
Pretend that I haven’t lost, lost my way
Pretend that this will all get better
Pretend that I haven’t wasted my life
Now that it has slipped away
All I can do is pretend and hope it gets better
Every day
