Last night I pretended that you didn't exist
And, sadly, the world went unchanged
But for one single second of one single hour
In this closed little world, I felt no pain
Last night I pretended that you didn't exist
For at the time I wished it were true
I imagined that you hadn't come into my life
That I hadn't both loved and lost you
Last night I pretended that you didn't exist
And for a while I almost believed it
I never heard your voice and I never kissed you
So grand a scheme, I'm surprised I conceived it
Last night I pretended that you didn't exist
But in a moment that dream was shattered
You called me up in the middle of the night
And my safe pretend world was scattered
