Being aware of my own projections on the woman in my life.

Lyrics

Let's Pretend
(Philbrook)

I know you so well
I can always tell
When I should shut my mouth

I remember who
Made it all seem new
Parts of you and someone else

Let's cut the lights and turn our projector on
All the troubles of the day will soon be gone
When we pretend
So let's pretend

Nights when you feel bad
Are the best I ever have
Where do you get the nerve?

Too much self-control
I need another role
One that's a pleasure to serve

Let's cut the lights and turn our projector on
All the troubles of the day will soon be gone
When we pretend
So let's pretend

I know you so well
I can always tell
When I should just shut my mouth

I remember who
Made it all seems new
Parts of you and someone else

Let's cut the lights and turn our projector on
All the troubles of the day will soon be gone
I want you just the way you are and ways you're not
Forget you know me let's work with what we've got

Let's Pretend
Baby, let's pretend
