Hard to even know what I'd say to you my baby If you opened up and let me in The amount of time that I've been spending with you lately Have it in my mind, the pictures on your skin And I swear to god I felt like this forever It's been with me like the wind and the falling rain My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together What I wouldn't give to be with you again You smile at me And my whole world surrenders When I walk away I walk away I walk away Yea I walk away Here I am playing the great pretender Beside myself in this disguise The girl you got is kind and sweet and slender Ya, I can see it through your eyes You smile at her And my whole heart is yearning While the flame is quietly burning I want your love So bad I'm about to lose my mind I need your love But you can't even be a friend of mine An evening spell fades with the sunlight But I just want you to stay On my back with someone else who loves me I can't help but sing this song to you Someone else with no one else above me Frankly I just don't know what to do So here I am playing the great pretender Rather unconvincingly My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together So much going on I wonder if you see You call my name It feels just like music But I just want to hear you say I want your love So bad I'm about to lose my mind I need your love But you can't even be a friend of mine I want your love I need your love I want your love I need your love
