Let's pretend that I don't love you,
(Because honestly I don't)
And that you're  not special.
(I would tell you if you were)
Compared to everyone I know.
(As a fact, they're all crazy)

How would I go about not loving you
(We both agree that I don't)
And still see you every day
(That is really way too much)
As if it's just the the same?
(I'm not afraid of change)

Let's pretend that I confessed,
(It's a stretch of the imagination)
Would you hear it with an open mind
(Like that joke I told yesterday)
And not push me away?
(You couldn't if you tried)

Now would you want me to love you
(If we are assuming that I did)
And cherish you with all my heart,
(As if I'd do something that sappy)
If I promised it all in every way?
(You know how I keep my word)

Now naturally I don't love you
(I'm making this perfectly clear)
At least in that way,
(Don't make assumptions)
So everything will stay the same.
(Because I love you.)
