Pretending Lyrics by Ellyse Moir

Origins

0

Sometimes
I think your smiles are real
That you feel what I feel
Sometimes
You act as if you know
That my heart is yours to own

I'm by your side
But you're forever blind
Can't you see
What we could be
Why are we pretending?

Sometimes
That mask fades away
And a fire burns inside
For a moment
We fall into a dream
And I never want to wake without you

I wish I could open my eyes
Why am I forever blind?
It's real to me
So painfully
Why are we pretending?

You're on my mind / You are my light
You are my constant star / We're written in the stars
When I hold you / when you hold me
Suddenly, you are my world / Everything's right in the world

There's so much you need to know
I'd give you everything
If only
If only

I could open my eyes / I could open your eyes
Why am I forever blind? / But you're forever blind
It's real to me / Why can't you see
So painfully / What we could be
Why are we pretending? / Why are we pretending?

I wish I could open my eyes /There's so much I have to say
Why am I forever blind? /You're with me but you're worlds away
Where you are
Is where I'll stay
Why are we pretending?

There's so much you'll never say
So I'm leaving
It's the only way
