When I Pretend

Thoughts of you keep running through my head

Images I just want to forget

I look in the mirror and put on a happy face

But nobody sees it

And I don't believe it

I bought into every word you said

I never thought that's something I'd regret

I look at you now and wonder who I see

The way we used to talk all night

I still get butterflies

When I go there again

I see the way you used to smile

If only for a while

If I could draw the world I wanna see

If I could draw the world I wanna see

I know just how I'd picture it to be

I'd stand here alone and know that it all was real

You say you don't need it

I know you don't mean it

The way we used to talk all night

I still get butterflies

When I go there again

I see the way you used to smile

If only for a while

I'm where I wanna be

I'm where I wanna be

Don't you wake me from this dream

Oh oh oh oh oh oh yea

When I go there again

Oh I see the way you used to smile

If only for a while

The way we used to talk all night

I still get butterflies

When I go there again again

Oh I see the way you used to smile

If only for a while

But only if I pretend

Only if I pretend
