pretend Lyrics

I've helped you through the mud

Sheltered you in the rain

Haven't you noticed what I've done

To help you through the pain?

I guess I should just get used to

Being used

And getting no gratitude

I just want, someone to care

Or someone there

For me

And not only when they want to be

Is this what I get

For trying to be a good friend?

Now and then, I lie

When people ask "how you been?"

So, the next time if you hear me laugh

It's probably pretend

I'll admit it isn't fun

But I don't like to complain

Being the 'positive one'

Can really drive you insane

But there's nothing

I can do

When that's all they expect from you

I just want, someone to care

Or someone there

For me

And not only when I'm happy

Is this what I get

For trying to be a good friend?

Now and then, I lie

When people ask "how you been?"

And I don't know when

I'll be myself again

So, the next time you see me smile

It's probably pretend

Oh, the next time you see me smile

Just know it's pretend
