Pretend

Pretend your smile is real
Pretend for me you still feel
Pretend to hold me tight
Pretend everything is alright
Pretend you like me like before
Pretend like this forever more

I am a little greedy when it comes to you
I am a little needy no one else will do
I am what I am and that's in love with you
So why can't you pretend to love me too

The world is full of sadness
It's hard to survive in all it's madness
But you fill my heart with gladness
And guide me through the madness

One more time, one more round
Maybe what we lost can be found
If you leave me I won't go
I'll be with you even though

You try to go on without me
But inside you'll never be without me
So what's the hurry take it slow
Before you know it it might show

If you just pretend to care
In those pretend moments we share
Love may suddenly reappear
Our love was always there

Pretend your smile is real
Pretend for me you still feel
Pretend to hold me tight
Pretend everything is alright
Pretend you like me like before
Pretend like this forever more

Pretend you like me like before
Pretend like this forever more
