Can you just pretend?
Pretend you love me?
Every flaw you point out
Every time you exploit my shortcomings
Can you just pretend
They don’t exist?
Every time I joke, you laugh
Then say it wasn’t that funny
Can you just pretend
I brighten your days?
Every interest shared, you poke holes in
Saying it’s not the same
Can you just pretend
I’m perfect for you?
Every time I talk to you
I find another reason to fall harder despite it all
Can I just pretend
I don’t love you?
