Tom Bender - Pretend Lyrics

I'm walking down this lonely street
Lost in thoughts and faded dreams
Wishing we were standing there
All that's left are deserted prayers

I wear this mask to shield the pain
That is hiding my heartbreaks
Behind your eyes there's shadows of lies
Why can't we tell the truth tonight

Pretend why do I have to pretend
Can't you love me
For exactly who I am
Pretend why do I have to pretend

When I speak I'm rehearsing lines
Anything to fill my time
Viable for filling voids
Overflowing with white noise

Pretend why do I have to pretend
Can't you love me
For exactly who I am
Pretend why do I have to pretend

Why do we have to play these games
Win or lose it's still the same
Let's take a break from these charades
And remember what we were looking for

Pretend why do I have to pretend
Can't you love me
For exactly who I am
Pretend why do I have to pretend
Oh have to pretend
