I'll pretend that you're gone, on vacation And you'll be back in a week or maybe two And when the phone rings I'll pretend it's you calling To tell me you miss me and you're coming home soon
I'll pretend I don't hear when silence tells me That I'll have to get by on my own I'll pretend I don't hear when loneliness speaks so clear And try to tell me you're not coming home (Not coming home)
Right now my life Ain't nothing but a dream How long can I fool myself? Into believing you're coming back to me
I can see you laying in his bed Like I caught the two of you in fact Everybody told me it was coming But I chose to be blind
I'll pretend your clothes are hanging in the closet And I'll pretend your perfume fills the air And as I sit in our favourite restaurant I'll pretend that you're meeting me there
I'll pretend when I visit our old friends That you're sitting down by my side And when our old friends ask how am I doing? I'll pretend I'm not losing my mind
Although they know I'm lying They know I'm lying I can't live like this I forgive you Please come back I can't live like this I love you And I forgive you And I want you
