Lyrics
You took away from me, I tried to get it back
You took something important from me, and I attempted to regain it.
And if you lie to me, I keep it to myself
If you deceive me, I keep it hidden within myself.
A trick or treat but then that don't make it right
Actions resembling a game with consequences, but that doesn't justify them.
I can't remember when, I could say goodnight
I can't recall the last time I could bid farewell peacefully.
Then something comes into my head and then a change
Sudden thoughts or realizations trigger a change within me.
I work it out somehow, I guess I've got my ways
I find solutions somehow, relying on my own methods.
But then I wonder how did I get it wrong
I question how I made an error.
It doesn't matter now
It's irrelevant at this moment.
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I act as if, I feign, yes, yes, yes.
I take the longest walks, they always do me good
I take extended walks as they benefit me.
I just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues
I immerse myself in sadness, expressing it through blues music.
But then I have to laugh 'cause it's an outlet too
Yet, I find humor in it as it serves as a release.
And if I add it all, it still just wouldn't do
Even if I combine everything, it's still inadequate.
I've come to realize there's nothing I can lose
I've realized there's nothing left for me to lose.
So I control myself nothing else to do
So, I manage myself because there's no other option.
I'll just remember when it comes around again
I'll recall this when faced with a similar situation.
I'd rather be alone, I won't get hurt again
I'd prefer solitude to avoid being hurt again.
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I act as if, I feign, yes, yes, yes.
Let me tell you now
A direct plea or assertion to be heard and understood.
Can you hear me now, yeah
A repeated request for acknowledgement and understanding.
Then something comes into my head and then a change
Sudden thoughts or realizations trigger a change within me.
I work it out somehow, I guess I've got my ways
I find solutions somehow, relying on my own methods.
I take the longest walks, it always does me good
Extended walks consistently benefit me.
I just control myself
I exercise control over myself.
I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I act as if, yes, yes, yes, I act as if, yes, yes, yes.
I pretend, I pretend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I pretend, I pretend, yes, yes, yes.
I, I take the longest walks, oh I laugh to myself but I pretend, yeah
I take long walks, laugh to myself, yet I pretend, yes.
I pretend
I pretend.
