We'll pretend for them

Lets just pretend that you're alright

We'll say that you'll still smile

They won't let us start the fight

They say to wait awhile

The tears are rolling down your face

An ocean from your eyes

From your chin to a bed of lace

They don't know our words are lies

Your skin is feeling so, so cold

Your arm is open for the giving life

Tamp down the feelings that are old

And give into living's strife
