PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I could pretend it doesn't bother me, pretend I'm okay

I could tell myself it doesn't matter anyway

I could look up at the sky and see your face again

I could make it all better if I could pretend

I could pretend that you never existed at all before

that I never knew you and didn't care about you anymore

I could pretend it doesn't hurt as much as it does

I could forget about everything good that was



chorus

I could be happy, happy as can be

unchain myself, set my soul free

but I'm not quite sure how

when I'm where I am now

I'd be fooling myself

everyone knows too well

my sorrow has no end

but I guess I could pretend



I could smile like I used to back then

I could close my eyes yeah I could pretend

I could tell myself that your not worth it

I could say I don't give a shit

I could imagine you didn't mean anything to me

if only I had been blind and could not see

that the truth is you were everything

I can't keep saying that you were nothing

chorus



and when I breathe

can I breathe you

and when I touch

can I touch you

and when I taste

can I taste you

no matter what I do

I breathe, I touch, I taste you

if only I could have saved you

chorus
