I'll Just Pretend
Love's Illusion: A Heart's Pretense
Lyrics
You spurned the love I gave you, darling
You rejected the love I offered you, my dear
A love you once was proud to own
A love that you once took pride in possessing
You found someone whom you love better
You've found someone else whom you love more
And in my dreams I walk alone
In my dreams, I wander alone, separated from you
I'll just pretend that I don't love you
I will act as if I don't love you
I'll just pretend that I don't care
I will feign indifference, pretending not to care
And when I meet you face to face, dear
When we meet face to face, dear, I will avert my gaze
I'll turn my head, I'll just pretend
I will turn away, maintaining the pretense
Those happy hours we spent together
The joyful moments we shared will forever remain in my heart
Forever in my heart will live
These memories will persist, but there is no hope for tomorrow
That's all I have for each tomorrow
This is all I have for the future, as we won't reunite
For we will never meet again
We are destined to never meet again
I'll just pretend that I don't love you
Again emphasizing the act of pretending not to love
I'll just pretend that I don't care
Reiterating the pretense of not caring
And when I meet you face to face, dear
When encountering you, I will avoid direct eye contact
I'll turn my head, I'll just pretend
I will consciously turn my head away, sustaining the pretense
I'll try my best to forget you
I will make an effort to erase you from my thoughts
To love you now is such a sin
Loving you now is considered a moral transgression
And as I'm facing all my fears, dear
Facing my fears, others will comprehend that I won't pretend anymore
They'll understand I won't pretend
Expressing a resolution to be genuine about emotions
