I Can't Pretend
I can't pretend this isn't happening
It happened when my heart wasn't pating attention
I fell in love without warning
Now i'm somewhere in between nowhere and a broken heart
You did nothing wrong
You said nothing to lead me on
I can't pretend the time we spend together
Doesn't send my heart soaring through the skies
I can't pretend our hearts connecting
And our souls embracing isn't real
As I lay in your arms, Feeling your breath on my body
Yet I know mor than friends we'll never be
And friends we did become instantly
For I know another holds your heart
Someone else owns your love
I still can't pretend I haven't fallen
Chances are, through this truth, through my confession to you
I will lose with you, what we admittably found we share
It's something I can't hide
I can't pretend it doesn't exist
Something i'm frightened to say, yet not at all ashamed to say
I can't pretend I don't want more
Just understand, please believe
This I know I can only share with you
With your eyes, your ears, your heart alone
I'd never try to break up your life or your home with another
Unconditional and true
I am here and always will bw for you
I just can't pass you by
Look so deeply into those "tell all" eyes
And pretend I don't love you
It happened when my heart wasn't pating attention
I fell in love without warning
Now i'm somewhere in between nowhere and a broken heart
You did nothing wrong
You said nothing to lead me on
I can't pretend the time we spend together
Doesn't send my heart soaring through the skies
I can't pretend our hearts connecting
And our souls embracing isn't real
As I lay in your arms, Feeling your breath on my body
Yet I know mor than friends we'll never be
And friends we did become instantly
For I know another holds your heart
Someone else owns your love
I still can't pretend I haven't fallen
Chances are, through this truth, through my confession to you
I will lose with you, what we admittably found we share
It's something I can't hide
I can't pretend it doesn't exist
Something i'm frightened to say, yet not at all ashamed to say
I can't pretend I don't want more
Just understand, please believe
This I know I can only share with you
With your eyes, your ears, your heart alone
I'd never try to break up your life or your home with another
Unconditional and true
I am here and always will bw for you
I just can't pass you by
Look so deeply into those "tell all" eyes
And pretend I don't love you
