Pretend

I’d give up tomorrow, just to have you for today,

Knowing that you’ll hold me tight and make everything okay.

I’d do anything to have you back as my own,

I truly miss the love that you once had shown.

I’d give myself fully unto you,

Even if I thought you would be untrue.

I’d believe all the lies in the world,

If I could go back to being your girl.

Tell me you love me, you don’t have to mean it,

Because in my eyes, you and I are a perfect fit.

Let’s go back to when we were kids and pretend,

I’ll be your love and you’ll be my perfect sin.

I need you because I’m dying inside,

Act like you love me even if you must lie.

Say what you want and I’ll believe what you say,

Please come back, for I cannot live without you another day.
