I like to pretend that my feelings for him
Aren’t really there
That;s hard to do though
When I feel this ache in my chest
All because I still care

It’s hard to pretend I don’t care
When I’m in love with you
I’ll say I’m not
Only deep down I do
Deep down I always knew

He was supposed to be mine
Even though I don’t feel it
I’ll tell everyone I’m fine

The tears that fill my eyes
The ones I won’t let fall
They speak my truths
Everyone sees their hidden depth
That’s why my eyes
They have the power to enthrall

Not him though
He won’t allow himself to fall
I can see it though
He wants to
He wants me to let go of all my truths
Of everything I hide
Everything he wish he knew

Only I can’t do that
So I’ll keep on pretending
Hoping no one else falls for the trap
That are my eyes
Waiting for the one who won’t allow himself to fall
Waiting for him to give in to the thrall
