Pretend (Demo)

Can I still hold your hand in the street Or would that throw you off, maybe we shouldn't meet Can I still say all the ways that I love you Or maybe you'd rather I keep it to myself even if it's true I'm so tired of staying small Should I just linger, or walk the other way I could leave you to it if you'd rather I go away I wouldn't want to make this harder than I need But, darling, every time you touch me I bleed I'm so tired of staying small I'm so tired of nothing at all Maybe if I talk to you tomorrow We can pretend I didn't see you today I know this isn't easy, so I'll go Tell me now if you want me to stay But now we're alone downstairs And we've abandoned all knowledge of chairs I'm so close to you, I don't know who's breathing Don't get too close, these moments are gross, your mother is seething I'm so tired of staying small I'm so tired of nothing at all Maybe if I talk to you tomorrow We can pretend I didn't see you today I know this isn't easy, so I'll go Tell me now if you want me to stay Don't tell me that you love me And then go to him Darling, it's hurting quite simply I'm out on a limb Don't hold me if you know You'll cry when it's done Darling, I'm so low I'm not the only one I'm so tired of staying small Maybe if I talk to you tomorrow We can pretend I didn't see you today I know this isn't easy, so I'll go Tell me now if you want me to stay Maybe if I talk to you tomorrow We can pretend I didn't see you today I know this isn't easy, so I'll go Tell me now if you want me to stay Maybe if I, maybe if I Pretend Maybe if I, maybe I can Pretend Maybe if I, maybe if I Pretend Maybe I can, maybe I can Pretend
