lets pretend were not needy 

lets pretend our hearts still beat 

lets pretend we fall in love tonight 

clumsy enough to fall for anything 

well stumble on our words 

well spill our guts on creaking bar stools 

below the neon blue 

low lives hiding in dives theres no feeling in drinking sleeping with strangers 

ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware 

a faint reflection on the barbacks mirror 

a face i never knew whispering,

please dont be a stranger to me. who are you if youre alone' 

youre no good at pretending 

all my plays have tragic endings 

you wish i was a fairy tale 

this frog will never change anything 

just pretend that youre in love 

that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually 

so who is it that whispers in your ear 

a haunting voice blows in through the window 

theres no feeling floating over beds 

a needy pleading apparition 

crying 'who am i if im alone?

i hardly exist at all.

lets pretend that we dont need anything anymore from anyone.

i dont want to feel anything anymore lets just pretend' 

well live happily ever after
