Pretend

Can you hear me now, yeah
I work it out somehow, I guess I've got my ways

So I control myself nothing else to do
But then I have to laugh 'cause it's an outlet too
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah

But then I wonder how did I get it wrong
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't remember when, I could say goodnight

I just control myself
I'll just remember when it comes around again
I, I take the longest walks, oh I laugh to myself but I pretend, yeah
Then something comes into my head and then a change
I've come to realize there's nothing I can lose
It doesn't matter now
I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah

I take the longest walks, it always does me good
I just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues

Then something comes into my head and then a change
I take the longest walks, they always do me good

I work it out somehow, I guess I've got my ways
A trick or treat but then that don't make it right
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd rather be alone, I won't get hurt again
And if I add it all, it still just wouldn't do
Let me tell you now
