You took away from me I tried to get it back And if you lie to me I keep it to myself A trick or treat but then That don't make it right I can't remember when I could say goodnite Then something comes into my head And then a change I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways But then I wonder how did I get it wrong It doesn't matter now
Chorus: I pretend. I pretend. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I take the longest walks They always do me good I just indulge myself In sorrow singing blues But then I have to laugh Cause it's an outlet too And if I add it all It still just wouldn't do I've come to realize There's nothing I can lose So I control myself Nothing else to do I'll just remember when It comes around again I'd rather be alone I won't get hurt again
Chorus: I pretend I pretend Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Solo
Then something comes Into my head and then a change I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways I take the longest walks It always does me good I just control myself
