I pretended
I pretended I didn't hear you whisper.
'Cause you wanted me to pretend for a little while more.
I pretended everything was fine
'Cause you wanted to pretend a little while longer.
I pretended I didn't understand
'Cause you didn't want me to understand.
I pretended it didn't hurt
'Cause you didn't want it to hurt.
I pretended I didn't see you cry.
'Cause you wanted to pretend not to cry.
I pretended to be happy
'Cause you wanted to pretend that I was.
I pretended I never cried.
'Cause I didn't want you to see me cry.
I pretended everything was fine.
And so did you.
