Let us pretend

Just for a moment

That I am worth your time

And let us pretend

Just for awhile

I’m as wonderful as you think I am

Let us pretend

That I don’t cause you pain

And that I didn’t cause these scars

On you, on me

All that I see

Just admit that I share the blame

I can’t listen,

Can’t think

Can’t offer comfort

I’m useless can’t you tell?

So now we’re pretending

That everything’s good

And wonderful and well

And the lie may be

Prettier

But it’s just not the truth

Which do you prefer?
