Let's Pretend

(Album: Ugly - 1995)

In the stillness of the night
My eyes are closed
My mouth is wide
I could see her face
Her beautiful hair
I could recognize

She looks at me cold
She probably don't know
Who I am
Mommy it's me
Its Keith
You had me back when

But sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
That she holds me
But sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
That she holds me
I guess I can't
Because she doesn't know who I am

My mind is dreaming
God, it's so misleading
Do you think it's 'cause I've grown old
Is it true what I was told
You cried to leave me

You know I know it's not your fault
You had a husband that was selfish and cold
Believe me I know

Now I hear you used to treat me cold
You disappeared and left me all alone
I'm sure you didn't know right from wrong
'Cause both of you were always getting stoned

But sometimes I like to pretend
But sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she holds me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she holds me
I guess I can't
Because she doesn't know who I am
