Pretend

I tried baby, I tried so hard to hold it all together for so long

I did all I could to keep us together, I don't know where we went wrong

But I know now, I know what's been said is true

That I can go on without you

There's a life beyond the one I live

It will help pass the time, pass the memory of what you did

And I'll move on, I'll find a new love

After some time, I'll forget the memory of...you

But for now I want to pretend nothing's changed

For one more night let's pretend it's all the same

And if I'm awakened by the light of the dawn, will you still be with me

Or will I awake to find you gone

Years from now I'm sure we'll cross paths

We'll share some stories, pretend to care, fake some laughs

And we'll move on again without a thought to the past

Both silently thankful it didn't last

But there will be that lonely night when you hear our song

And you'll wonder to yourself how I got along...without you

And there come a time I can't seem to take much more of myself

And I'll want to know where you are, I'll want your help

But for now I want to pretend nothing's changed

For one more night let's pretend it's all the same

And if I'm awakened by the light of the dawn, will you still be with me

Or will I awake to find you gone

Life will deal us each our blows

But it will never get as bad, never bring us as low as we made each other over the years

And the good times and the laughs will never outweigh the millions of tears

So let us now say our good-byes

And end our journey in each other's lives

This is my farewell, my forever end

Good-bye my dear friend
