I Can't Pretend

It's too hard to begin when we know it will end

And if you got a friend, better leave with him

Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up

I know that I need love, but I can't pretend

I can't pretend

One day the moon will set for the last time

Maybe we'll become part of a mountain

We've always learned these things

You know I'm not crying

But you know I'm not trying to get

It's too hard to begin when we know it will end

And if you got a friend, better leave with him

Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up

I know that I need love, but I can't pretend

I can't pretend, I can't pretend

Remember when you first touched my hand

We sparkled inside at the same time

And now it doesn't even matter

It's too hard to begin when we know it will end

And if you got a friend, better leave with him

Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up

I know that I need love, but I can't pretend

I can't pretend, I can't pretend

I see us high, high on a mountain

I see us die, dying in a mountain

It's too hard to begin when we know it will end

I see us high, high on a mountain

I see die, dying in a mountain
