Pretend Like They Don't Matter
April 14, 2011
Pretend like nothings wrong
Smile like nothing happened
Walk like nothing hurts
Laugh like it’s all ok
Act like you can forget
Pretend to be someone you’re not
Cover all your flaws
Shut the true you away
Let people believe the lies
Bring your imagination out to play
Live the pain, and the pleasures
Leave the world behind
Let yourself believe
Pretend that they’re not looking
Pretend that they don’t see
Hide all traces of truth
Smile like you don’t care
Talk as if you don’t know
Erase away the pain
Act as if you’re no different
