Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with Can we fake the life you know I should have had Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
You seem to have an important part The lead role of my heart You played it well along time ago Until I started falling in love And then you changed your character And avoided all of your lines Now the man I love is gone now Can you play his part at this time
[Chorus] Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with Can we fake the life you know I should have had Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong So I'll find someone who loves me And who can play your part for life
I deserve a lot better than this And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love And receive nothing back in return
