Can?t Pretend

© 2005 Dave Drotos / Enzo Maddalena

Intro

Verse One
We?ve been friends a while, and it seems just like I?ve known you all my life
We can talk about most anything - that?s weighin? on our minds
So I have to laugh when you tell me that you?re back with her again
It?s the same old song, still the notes are wrong but I listen just the same
Cuz? ever since I met you ? I?ve kept somethin? inside
And I?ve tried to keep it from you ? now it?s got nowhere to hide?

Chorus
?Cuz I can?t pretend that I don?t want you
Can?t pretend I wish you well
And I?m all done with runnin? from the truth ? baby
Tryin? to keep my feelings secret
Only puts my heart through hell
I don?t want our friendship to end,
But I just can?t pretend

Verse Two
We were back in school and I played the fool when she first came along
She stole your heart cuz she looked the part, but the rest of her was wrong
And I was there for you when you said ?I do?, after walkin? down that aisle
My heart was torn to pieces, but I hid it with a smile
And every time she left you ? I thought there?d be a chance
But now I find myself back in ? the same old circumstance ?

Chorus

Bridge
Sometimes I wonder if I?m crazy
To think that we?d be more than this
But I keep holdin? on ? to a hope that?s so strong
And a burnin? desire to feel your kiss?.
