you pretend that you can't hear me
and that i'm not really there
you pretend that i am nothing
and that you never really cared
you pretend that i'll just dissapear
and that i'll never fill your dreams
you pretend that everything is perfect
and that nothing's like it seems
you pretend that i'm not living
and that i never really was
you pretend that i was never there
and that i wasn't any loss
but you can keep pretending
and keep leaving me behind
because i know i'm there
lingering in the back of your mind
