Can't pretend

We were in trouble you called it love It faded away in the settling dust You were king of the hill of "it is what it was" Baby it was your fault baby it is a shame Baby you broke your crown tumbling down you came Right back to my feet but I kicked you away Then I felt that kind of panic That you feel in black and white It's a key in my chest in a storm at the end of a kite And I don't quite understand it But I'm counting on lightning to strike It's the sword in the stone in my throat at the end of the night Please don't make me hurt you, you have no regrets but I do, do you Know how much I loved you baby Try to understand I can't pretend That's on me That's on me I can't pretend That's on me That's on me We were in New York we went to war It's benches and trenches and corner stores You set off the landmine I hid in the floor Baby blew you to bits baby lost your whole face Baby I wish we could have had it both ways The man in the tank and the man on the stage It's that reckless kind of magic But the kind that gets it done It's the eye of the storm in my hands coming out of a gun Please don't make me hurt you, you have no regrets but I do, do you Know how much I loved you baby Try to understand That I don't Want to but I have to, tonight's Happy ever after, after everything we've been through this is how the story ends I can't pretend That's on me That's on me I can't pretend That's on me That's on me Baby I'm moving on Maybe I'm in the wrong Maybe I miss you now Maybe I'll come around Or maybe I'll say out loud Please don't make me hurt you, you have no regrets but I do, do you Know how much I loved you baby Try to understand That I don't Want to but I have to, tonight's Happy ever after, after everything we've been through this is how the story ends I can't pretend That's on me That's on me I can't pretend That's on me That's on me
