I Can’t Pretend

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Remember when you first touched my hand? We sparkled inside at the same time And now it doesn't even matter [Chorus] 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 [Non-Lyrical Break] [Bridge] I see us high, high on a mountain I see us die, dyin' on a mountain [Outro] It's too hard to begin when you know it will end I see us high, high on a mountain I see us die, dyin' on a mountain
