covers off
You cant wake someone
pretending to be asleep
You cant talk to someone
pretending to listen
You can’t touch someone
pretending to be interested
You can’t connect with someone
pretending to be your friend
You can’t teach someone anything
pretending to know everything
You can’t satisfy someone
pretending to be perfect
You can’t give enough to someone
pretending to be grateful
You can’t change the world
pretending to be kind
You can’t heal your heart
pretending it’s not hurting
You can’t solve a problem
pretending you haven’t got one
You cant be loved by someone
pretending to be ready for love
You can’t find the truth
pretending it’s a lie
It is what it is
Pretending never really works…
but don’t even bother telling that to the pretenders
