Pretend

Be like me tellin'you

that the sun doesn't shine

every time that it rains

And that the moon

doesn't come out at night

'til the sun comes back again

And like me tellin' you

that a cowboy

has never rode across the plains

Is about the same as me tellin' you

that my heart's not filled with pain

So maybe I should just pretend

that you never touched my hand

Then maybe I wouldn't feel like

there's no reason to live again

Maybe I shouldn't have turned around

and drove this car back across town

Knowin' I'm the one thing

you don't wanna see

It would all make sense

if I could pretend

That you never loved me

That you never loved me

Be like me tellin'you

that the desert isn't covered in sand

And the way I feel in my heart for you

fit into God's plan

And like me tellin' you

that the star down in Texas

ain't standin' alone

And the four walls of this empty house

make me feel right at home

So maybe I should just pretend

that you never touched my hand

Then maybe I wouldn't feel like

there's no reason to live again

Maybe I shouldn't have turned around

and drove this car back across town

Knowin'I'm the one thing

you don't wanna see

It would all make sense

if I could pretend

That you never loved me

That you never loved me

It'd be like me tellin' you

that I'm not the kind to ever make-believe

But when I opened my eyes this mornin'

you were still there lyin 'right next to me

So maybe I should just pretend

that you never touched my hand

Then maybe I wouldn't feel like

there's no reason to live again

Maybe I shouldn't have turned around

and drove this car back across town

Knowin'I'm the one thing

you don't wanna see

It would all make sense

if I could pretend

That you never loved me

That you never loved me

I wished you never loved me
