Pretense
I hate romance
All these feelings that make hearts dance
All these lies that make me cry
Honestly, I'd rather die
I cannot handle these silly things
Waiting to see if my phone rings
I never got that call
So I built up a wall
Defense from the dark
A boy turned shark
Preying on my heart
Asking me to play the part
Of his lover; Just for a night
Sending butterflies alight
Told me his feelings are real
True intentions he does conceal
The next day the love is gone
My bed is empty before dawn
Breaking everything that is me
When I look in the mirror, who do I see?
Not the girl I once was
But someone lonely who just does
Whatever it takes not to break
Not to let my feelings wake
I cannot simply handle what this earth has dealt
This is the worst pain I have ever felt
So hard to get out of this hole that I'm in
Pushing me deeper, changing my skin
A hard shell is born for my defense
Now it's easy to have this pretense.
