Pretend

Pretend for a moment it's all okay.
Just muddle your way through the nights and days.
Pretend for a moment it's done and said.
Don't let them see the sorrow and dread.

It's easy to pretend.
Just lock away the hurt and pain
And let it rot within.

Pretend for a moment you heart's intact.
Carry on and hold the act.
Pretend for a moment the pain is no more.
Just keep it locked behind the door.

It's easy to pretend.
Just keep the feelings bottled up
And let nobody in.

Pretend for a moment you're over him.
Act as if your feelings are not grim.
Pretend for a moment your heart's okay
When in fact, its shattered, torn, and frayed

Its easy to pretend.
Just smile, and laugh, and act with cheer
And keep the feelings bound and penned.
