I Can't Pretend
It's too hard to begin
When you know it will end
And if you've got a friend
You better leave with him
When everyone wants to dance, I can't 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 care
It's too hard to begin
When you know it will end
And if you've got a friend
You better leave with him
When everyone wants to dance, I can't 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 you know it will end
And if you've got a friend
You better leave with him
When everyone wants to dance, I can't 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 you know it will end
I see us high, high on a mountain
I see us die, dying in a mountain
