I pretend I'm in love; when I'm not. I pretend I'm in love, when it's lust. I pretend that I'm numb, but it hurts. I pretend that it's found, but I'm lost. I pretend to pretend that nothing hurts. My defence is the art of pretence… when it all gets too much

The Art of Pretence
I pretend I'm in love; when I'm not. I pretend I'm in love, when it's lust. I pretend that I'm numb, but it hurts. I pretend that it's found, but I'm lost. I pretend to pretend that nothing hurts. My defence is the art of pretence… when it all gets too much
