Pretend I Believe in You

I used to tell you all my dreams

Shattered constantly

Because you did not care

You were never ever there

And you only opened up

When you had something you could gain

Now that you've given up

What feelings could remain



Every day, we grow more apart

Never to know what

We had back at the start

I try to be there for you

But you don't see

That you're telling things untrue

And how much it hurts me

To pretend I believe in you



Made in misery

Our love will never be

How can the best one around

The greatest I have found

Let herself be

The cruelest to me



Trapped here in disgust

Feeling I cannot trust

Because you hide everything

You fake like you feel just enough

To get you by

And never make me wonder why

We could never be

What you'd call you and me



Every day, we grow more apart

Never to know what

We had back at the start

I try to be there for you

But you don't see

That you're telling things untrue

And how much it hurts me

To pretend I believe in you



You don't even like yourself

So why do you talk to someone else

When I offered you my hand

And placed on you no demands

I gave you all of me

As much as there could be

But the darkness in you

Eats your heart and breaks it in two

And everything you see

Is the truest anyone can be!



Every day, we grow more apart

Never to know what

We had back at the start

I try to be there for you

But you don't see

That you're telling things untrue

And how much it hurts me

To pretend I believe in you



No! No!

I don't believe in you

I don't believe you're true

You lie so many times

I can never find all the good in you



Every day, we grow more apart

Never to know what

We had back at the start

I try to be there for you

But you don't see

That you're telling things untrue

And how much it hurts me

To pretend I believe in you

Pretending so long

I can't tell what's right and what's wrong

But I know you are untrue

So I pretend I believe in you!
