Haunted Pretenses Flame

I can pretend it don't bother me
That we said goodbye like a faded dream like you never meant a damn thing to me
I’ll smile I’ll nod Play the part unseen
You can act like you never gave a damn about me Like the weight of us was never shared
You can pretend all I was to you was an Odyssey a void needed filled I'll do the same I can play this game Hide the fire Extinguish the flame
You can pretend you never meant those words you whispered to me I don't ever want what we have to end were pretend You can pretend you never said my name in day light only in the Dead of the night a secret only we both knew the echoes stay They feel the same You can pretend you don't want to call I'll pretend I'll never answer the call again 
You can pretend it was all pretend I'll do the same I seen the truth when our nights would end We’re both actors in this quiet play of pretend when Curtains close the lines still stay You can pretend to erase what the heart has penned I'll do the same I can pretend it don't bother me That we said goodbye like a faded dream I’ll smile I’ll nod Play the part unseen You can pretend like you never cared Like you don't give a damn any more I'll do the same I can pretend I can play this game Hide the fire Extinguish the flame
You can pretend You never Whispered my name in a dream I'll do the same
You can pretend you never meant those words you whispered in my ear I can pretend I never heard those words You can pretend it was all pretend I'll do the same I see the truth when the nights won’t end We’re both actors with hid secrets we hold in we can’t erase what the heart has penned Even if we pretended We wanted what we had to end We can play this game Hide the fire pretend to Extinguish the haunted pretenses flame
