lyrics

I CAN PRETEND THAT I NEVER LOVED YOU
I CAN PRETEND THAT I AM FEELING FINE
THAT ALL OF YOUR KISSES LAST FOREVER
IN THIS LONELY HEART OF MINE
I CAN PRETEND THAT YOU’RE THINKING OF ME
WHILE YOU PRETEND THAT I DON’T EXIST
AND TELL EVERYBODY WHY YOU LEFT ME
THE PART OF THE STORY THAT I MISSED

BUT IF I DON’T SAY A WORD
WILL YOU LOVE ME
IF MY HEART DOESN’T HURT
WILL YOU LOVE ME
WILL YOU LEAVE ME
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME

I CAN PRETEND THAT IT’S NOT OVER
I CAN PRETEND THAT I NEVER LOST
ALL OF THE COURAGE THAT’S WITHIN ME
EVERY FEELING THAT I EVER GOT
I CAN PRETEND WE’RE GONNA LAST FOREVER
WHILE YOU PRETEND THAT I JUST DIED
NOT A PHONE CALL OR A LETTER
JUST A LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES

BUT IF I DON’T SAY A WORD
WILL YOU LOVE ME
IF MY HEART DOESN’T HURT
WILL YOU LOVE ME
WILL YOU LEAVE ME
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME

AND I REALLY DON’T BELIEVE
YOU’RE TOO FAR AWAY FROM ME
THAT YOU’RE SOMEWHERE OUT OF REACH
AND I’M OVER ALL THESE GAMES
I DON’T THINK I FEEL THIS WAY

SO YOU CAN PRETEND THAT I NEVER ASKED YOU
YOU CAN PRETEND IT’S ALL MY HEAD
BREAK EVERY PICTURE THAT I LEFT YOU
ERASE EVERY WORD THAT I EVER SAID

BUT IF I DON’T SAY A WORD
WILL YOU LOVE ME
IF MY HEART DOESN’T HURT
WILL YOU LOVE ME
WILL YOU LEAVE ME
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME
