Not Wanting You, I Just Cannot Pretend

Folder: 
Break Ups

 

Forgive me

For ever caring

But there is no one else

So good

Comparing

Anything they are to you

You are so perfect it scares me

You make me breathe just barely

And now you're leavin

Treatin me unfairly

I thought we knew

That sometimes forever just can't be forever

When two people can't be together

Without tellin each other the truth

 

You hoped that you found real love

So you could really feel loved

But I was holdin back my fears

And lyin, sayin I shed no tears for you

So, now I can only ask

Why did we get caught up

In somethin so good it could not be thought of

And then let it slip away so fast

 

You want to still be friends

But I don't think I can take it

My heart, I didn't tell you yet is breakin

So everything with you must end

I only wanted your friendship

No matter how much you meant, and

You took it beyond, so shocking

But then we almost altogether just stopped talking

Not wanting you, I just cannot pretend

 

Maybe after we give some time

It might be alright to find

Each other once more and begin

Back where we started

Forgetting that we parted

Back when I liked you as more than a friend

But I couldn't speak it

You left me so very weak, it

Felt like I stretched the truth 

So much, it bent

Love crept in

But it only lasted

So little and went so fast, it

Got used up and spent

 

You want to still be friends

But I don't think I can take it

My heart, I didn't tell you yet is breakin

So everything with you must end

I only wanted your friendship

No matter how much you meant, and

You took it beyond, so shocking

But then we almost altogether just stopped talking

Not wanting you, I just cannot pretend

 

Every second since then

Feels like a brand new sentence

Sentencing me to a life of bein lonely without you

I don't think that I can serve it

But maybe I deserve it

What did I do

If I wasn't perfect

I'm sorry I didn't make it worth it

And you're probably better off

Now that we're through

But if I dream

I hope that it will seem

Like the reality I thought I had with you

 

You want to still be friends

But I don't think I can take it

My heart, I didn't tell you yet is breakin

So everything with you must end

I only wanted your friendship

No matter how much you meant, and

You took it beyond, so shocking

But then we almost altogether just stopped talking

Not wanting you, I just cannot pretend

 

If you ever pass by me

Please do not deny me

The chance to finally try to be your friend

But I can only be hoping

That I'm finally coping

And that not wanting you, I can pretend
