Pretending

I'm holding back my love tonight
I'll never let it out of sight
Though you're not coming back
The things you whispered in my ear
I'm treasuring as souvenirs
And I'm not letting them go

I'll never give you up
Though I know I should
Even when you said you'd never leave
I knew you would
So here I am now

Talking to no one making conversation
Pretending we were in love
Believing my wishes needs no explanation
Pretending isn't enough
I can 't go on like this anymore
Just hoping that you'll walk thru that door
Dreaming pretending
You could be real once more

I can't explain the way I feel
But the scars you left me through the test
But the coming home to emtiness
Is far too much to beat
