Don't Pretend

I miss that week in the hospital

Too sick to see you, but made sure to call

It spiraled downward from then when I got sick again

I'm over whelmed by it all

If I could open up enough

To feel your love

Maybe it'd be more bearable

Till the treatments end

But don't pretend that the world has

Never been good to you

Don't suspend all your plans when

You know you should follow through

I never pushed the limits

I lived inside them and minded

Didn't dare ask questions

Never swim in the deep end

I was afraid to try

Now I feel like a bad kid

'Cause no one deserves this

So I'll just sit here quietly

With my hands folded

Don't pretend that the world has

Never been good to you

Don't suspend all your plans when

You know you should follow through

Don't you dare play the victim

When you have the power to choose

Don't pretend that the world has

Never been good to you

Don't pretend

Don't pretend

I won't pretend anymore

The bad can discover

The goodness that lovers

Over you
