You took away from me I tried to get it back
  And if you lie to me I keep it to myself
  A trick or treat but then that don't make it right
  I can't remember when I could say goodnight
  Then something comes into my head and then a change
  I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways
  But then I wonder how did I get it wrong
  It doesn't matter now.
  I pretend.
  I take the longest walks they always do me good
  I just indulge myself in sorrow singing blues
  But then I have to laugh cause it's and outlet too
  And if I add it all it still just wouldn't do
  I've come to realize there's nothing I can lose
  So I control myself nothing else to do
  I'll just remember when it comes around again
  I'd rather be alone I won't get hurt again
  I pretend.
  Then something comes into my head and then a change
  I work it out somehow I guess I've got my ways
  I take the longest walks it always does me good
  I just control myself.
  I pretend.
