Let's Pretend For A Moment
Let’s pretend for a moment that I never tried.
That I always lied.
Let’s pretend for a moment that you never cared.
That you were never there.
Let’s say just for laughs that I left you and we didn’t leave each other.
Perhaps when I was alone and you weren’t.
Perhaps when you were happy with her.
Let’s say just for laughs that I never carved words into my flesh.
Perhaps when you didn’t bother to see.
Perhaps when you left me.
For the sake of argument let’s say that you were perfect.
Like when you loved me when I was cruel to you
Like when you stood by me when I was being untrue
Like when you cried for the things I could never do
For the sake of argument let’s say that I am beautiful
Like when my eyes shine in the light
Like when I’m too tired to fight
Like when my voice changes in the middle of the night
To keep the peace let’s just say that you were right and I was wrong.
Let’s pretend that what we had isn’t gone.
Perhaps when you realize how many times I lied for you
Like when I let go all the things that you used to do
To end all of this please realize, how all of this went looking through my eyes.
