Lyrics
I'll Pretend That I Still Love You
(c)2013 Gary Pecorella
The day breaks, my heart aches
I tell all my friends I'm fine
But I'm lonely without you
Baby, you've crushed this heart of mine
Chorus:
Since you've been gone
Flowers still bloom and time goes on
I'm just a fool
So I'll pretend that I still love you
The man on the TV
He's talking but all I hear
Is the sound of you breathing
I call out your name but you're not there
Repeat Chorus
Break
There's a shoe by the bed post
Your face in a picture frame
And a note taped on the mirror
Where you wrote 'goodbye' and signed your name
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Someday I'll learn to say goodbye
I'll see the truth beyond your lies
I need to work it through
But until I do
I'll pretend that I still love you
I'll pretend that I still love you
I'll pretend that I still love you
Baby, I'm the fool who loves you
