My Best Friend
I could pretend to be happier
And not need a crutch
But that would be lying
And it would hurt far too much.
I could pretend not to need comfort
As much as I really do
But are my best friend
And I am lost without you.
I could pretend I don't watch it
And talk a lot less
About that thing that I love
But that would make me a mess.
I could pretend I'm not empty
But then I'd be alone
And to be brutally honest
I don't want to be on my own.
I could pretend to be less selfish
And share you with everyone else
But I need you more
And want you for myself.
I could pretend to be more sincere
Talking about love after his dare
Because I really am that selfish
But I really, really care.
I could pretend that I love the world
Just as much as you do
But that's why I listen
Because you always remind me to.
I could pretend that I don't love you
But that would be a lie
Because I want you as my best friend forever
And never have to say goodbye.
