Just Pretend

Once upon a summer day
We came across eachother’s ways
We talked and talked till it was dark
With him there seemed to be no harm

Finally it seemed I was on the right path
He seemed like the one for me the other half
Always on time, and complimenting my hair
He never missed a single detail and showed he cared
and he had me believing….

That the sun finally shined through
That nothing could beat this feeling so true
Every moment was so precious and sincere
When he took me by the hand and whispered in my ear
Took me out and danced in front of his friends
With him the happiness had no end
I knew these things could only be just pretend

On New Years he drove us to this peek
That overlooked the city streets
Then he looked down into my eyes
And said I looked so beautiful that night

I couldn’t believe what I was feeling inside
My heart was skipping beats to this boy oh why?
Why does he have to be so perfect and nice
Surely I couldn’t deserve this perfect life
But he had me believing…..

That the sun finally shined through
That nothing could beat this feeling so true
Every moment was so precious and sincere
When he took me by the hand and whispered in my ear
Took me out and danced in front of his friends
With him the happiness had no end
I knew these things could only be just pretend

One spring morning I put on my prettiest dress
Brushed my hair back and put on some faded lipstick
i was standing underneath my big oak tree
And waited for him till half past three


I decided I’d go back to that one peek
And I caught the sight of his red jeep
My heart galloped as I encountered it
but all was lost from those unfaithful lips
and he had me believing….

That the sun finally shined through
That nothing could beat this feeling so true
Every moment was so precious and sincere
When he took me by the hand and whispered in my ear
Took me out and danced in front of his friends
With him the happiness had no end
I knew these things could only be just pretend
And that’s what they were…..
It was all just pretend
Just pretend.
