Just pretend

Please come and pick me up

Let me bleed a little in your hand

Help me mend my broken smile

And just pretend you understand



Take my hand and smile to me

Look at me gently, but please don’t stare

Wipe away the bloody tears on my face

And just pretend you care



Help me to get on my feet

And lead me to a place where we can stay

Talk to me in a gentle voice

And just pretend you’ll never go away



Reach into my decaying soul

And remove all of my pain

Run your fingers through my hair

And just pretend you think I’m sane



Touch my hideous scars

And say that they don’t bother you

Hold me in your arms

And just pretend you know what I’m going through



Lift me up high above the clouds

And make me feel free

Tell me that I’m beautiful

And just pretend you love me
