I am pretending
I am making it up.
You think that it's all real
How can I break the news to you
That it's all a fairy tale?
I always fancied myself an actress
And what a marvelous one I am, to play such a part
And engulf you in it.
You believe me, You live it.
I wish I felt that way, but I don't and can't.
I try and wipe away this dust,
These unwanted thoughts.
I don't wish to cause you pain
I do it to make you happy
.In the end, aren't I just increasing all pain?
For us both?
Shake the cobwebs and wipe the dust,
And keep acting like I care.
