lyrics

She Pretends

she pretends to be my mother
i act like a loving son
otherwise we’d break forever
neither wants to be that one

she pretends she simply loves me
i act like i know she does
trying hard we speak of family
slipping by what really was

we were not a good match
that’s plain to see
still i wish there’d been a mom for me

she pretends she isn’t frightened
i act like i feel no pain
later on i’ll pull the darts
from where she stuck them in again

she pretends she’s really open
i act like my heart is clear
when we’re done i need a bath
and can’t wait to get far from here

we were not a good match
that’s plain to see
still i wish there’d been a mom for me

she pretends we found salvation
i act like our truce is true
still the air sits thick with sorrow
we cannot begin anew

she pretends she bears no malice
i act like i’ll kiss the ring
we adjourn with words of love
wishes more than anything 2X
