Pretending I Don't Care
Pretending Hearts, Concealed Emotions
Lyrics
My days are so lonely, my nights are so blue
Expressing loneliness in the daytime and sadness in the nighttime.
Though my heart is broken, it belongs to you
Acknowledging a broken heart that still belongs to someone.
Of misery and sorrow, well, I've had my share
Conveying experience with misery and sorrow in life.
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Admitting to pretending not to care, similar to the person being addressed.
You pretend to be happy, gay and carefree
Highlighting the facade of happiness and carefreeness, despite knowing the other person still thinks about the speaker.
But I know that sometimes you still think of me
Acknowledging that the person being addressed occasionally reflects on the speaker.
Just bein' without you I can't hardly bear
Expressing difficulty in coping with the absence of the person.
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Confirming the act of pretending not to care, mirroring the addressed person's behavior.
My days are so lonely, my nights are so blue
Reiterating the theme of loneliness during the day and sadness at night.
Though my heart is broken, it belongs to you
Repeating the idea of a broken heart still belonging to the addressed person.
Of misery and sorrow, well, I've had my share
Emphasizing the speaker's past experiences with misery and sorrow.
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Affirming the act of pretending not to care, aligning with the addressed person's behavior.
I pray for the power to forget and forgive
Expressing a desire for the strength to forget and forgive the addressed person for causing hurt.
That you ever hurt me the way that you did
Acknowledging the pain caused by the addressed person's actions.
Oh, I shouldn't want you but the feelin's still there
Admitting conflicting emotions, as the desire for the person remains despite the hurt.
And like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Reaffirming the act of pretending not to care, mirroring the addressed person's behavior.
My days are so lonely, my nights are so blue
Repeating the sentiment of loneliness during the day and sadness at night.
Though my heart is broken, it belongs to you
Restating the idea of a broken heart still belonging to the addressed person.
Of misery and sorrow, well, I've had my share
Recalling past experiences with misery and sorrow.
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Reaffirming the act of pretending not to care, echoing the addressed person's behavior.
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
Reiterating the shared pretense of not caring, aligning with the addressed person's behavior.
