Don't Keep Pretending

(album: Trick Or Treat - 1991)

Here comes the let down
Hearing your voice on the telephone
Wanting you here with me
Knowing I'm going to be on my own
When you say that it won't be tonight
Should I show you I'm hurting?
Would it help me to stand up and fight
Or would that be just the chance you've been waiting for?

Don't keep pretending
That we aren't drifting apart
You're fooling yourself
You know that you're never going to leave him
And if this thing is ending
Please don't keep breaking my heart
If I'm not the one
Then baby please tell me that it's over

You come and cry on my shoulder
You promise me this time you're really through
And I end up believing
That this time I'm going to have all of you
Then you say that you think we should wait
Just a little bit longer
Should I tell you it's getting too late
To keep on believing I mean that much to you?

Don't keep pretending
That we aren't drifting apart
You're fooling yourself
You know that you're never going to leave him
And if this thing is ending
Please don't keep breaking my heart
If I'm not the one
Then baby please tell me that it's over

Don't keep pretending
That you really want to let go baby
Is this the ending?
'Cause I can start to feel you slip away

Don't keep pretending
That he doesn't have a hold on you
Is this the ending?
Oh, I really got to know the answer baby

Don't keep pretending
That you really want to be with me
Do you really want to be with me?

Whenever I wake up in the night
Your promises echo in my mind
But my heart keeps telling me this could never be
And then I would say it over again
That I would never be your fool
No I can't believe this is happening to me
