Pretending

I can no longer pretend I am fine
that my empty heart will be okay
I tried to make it easy hold the line
while my loneliness dug inside more every day
did I make it too easy for you
easy for you to turn and walk
I pretended that it did not matter
that we would hardly ever talk
I knew things got harder in so many ways
we became strangers passing in the night
I hoped for your return for so many days
your eyes in my mind when I turned off the light
I know there is nothing I can do
there is no way to make things change
I just wish I could stop thinking about you
no longer pretending
no longer pretending
