Pretend

If I could just pretend that you'd been just a friend I'd close the night, turn out the light and sleep If I could've only seen what lay ahead for me A bottle full of promises I'd keep Your eyes, they had their way, they knew just what to say That stare, it wounded me so deep I could have shut them out and kept away the doubt But here I am paying it so steep Something in your eyes always told me this wasn't just friendly They were hypnotic, your smile so erotic and wanting The fear was clear but so was your willingness to be near me You believed in me, you believed in us and you let the feeling make it real Your eyes, oh your eyes Eyes that never lie, they'd invite me inside You dared me with that stare One look too many now it's my cross to bear Those eyes betrayed the words, they never knew their worth Took me by the hand and made me believe The fear was clearly there, your openness so bare We long crossed the point from which we can't retreat If I could just pretend that you'd been just a friend I'd have found a way to keep you on the wall But now I clearly see that you were meant for me And though you're still with him, no more than one can win When time's the only, only sin Cause you love me, yeah you love me I know you do and you know it's true You can tell me that you want me I could never let you walk away Without knowing how I'm falling And I don't' know how to find my way back Your confession left me reeling And I don't know how to go Back to being like before you Cause now I can't help but adore you You're the angel in my ceiling And I never learned to fly No, I never learned to fly
