Go On Pretending

Words and music by Chris Shortt (a.k.a BoogiemanCas)

Sometimes I feel quite defensive
And maybe a bit apprehensive
The notes you teleport me away from you, you see
But today we go on pretending

Delight in our homemade misery
At night we make love unconditionally
It brings us to a life with just you and me
A life where nothing is wrong, where we, where we are both strong
When nothing is lost, but still we are just pretending

Sometimes I feel, quite defensive
and maybe a bit apprehensive
The notes you say teleport me away from you, you see
But today we go on pretending

Respect is what I really want from you
And not some kind of game where only you can win
A game in which money lust not love rule
A game full of lost promises
A game were we are not pretending

Delight in our homemade misery,
At night we make love unconditionaly
It brings us to a life with just you and me
A life where nothing is wrong
Still we go on pretending
