lets pretend were not needy

lets pretend our hearts still beat

lets pretend we fall in love tonight

clumsy enough to fall for anything

well stumble on our words

well spill our guts on creaking bar stools

below the neon blue

low lives hiding in dives theres no feeling in drinking sleeping with strangers

ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware

a faint reflection on the barbacks mirror

a face i never knew whispering,

please don't be a stranger to me. who are you if you're alone

you're no good at pretending

all my plays have tragic endings

you wish i was a fairy tale

this frog will never change anything

just pretend that youre in love

that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually

so who is it that whispers in your ear

a haunting voice blows in through the window

there's no feeling floating over beds

a needy pleading apparition

crying who am i if i'm alone?

i hardly exist at all.

lets pretend that we don't need anything anymore from anyone.

i dont want to feel anything anymore lets just pretend

we'll live happily ever after
