| You took away from me, | |
| I tried to get it back | |
| And if you lie to me, | |
| I keep it to myself | |
| A trick or treat but then that don't make it right | |
| I can't remember when, | |
| I could say goodnight | |
| Then something comes into my head and then a change | |
| I work it out somehow, | |
| I guess I've got my ways | |
| But then I wonder how did | |
| I get it wrong | |
| It doesn't matter now | |
| I pretend, | |
| I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| I take the longest walks, they always do me good | |
| I just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues | |
| But then I have to laugh 'cause it's an outlet too | |
| And if I add it all, it still just wouldn't do | |
| I've come to realize there's nothing | |
| I can lose | |
| So I control myself nothing else to do | |
| I'll just remember when it comes around again | |
| I'd rather be alone, | |
| I won't get hurt again | |
| I pretend, | |
| I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| Let me tell you now | |
| Can you hear me now, yeah | |
| Then something comes into my head and then a change | |
| I work it out somehow, | |
| I guess I've got my ways | |
| I take the longest walks, it always does me good | |
| I just control myself | |
| I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, | |
| I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| I pretend, | |
| I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
| I, I take the longest walks, oh | |
| I laugh to myself but | |
| I pretend, yeah | |
| I pretend |
