let's pretend were not needy. let's pretend our hearts still beat. let's pretend we fall in love tonight, clumsy enough to fall for anything. we'll stumble on our words. we'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools. below the neon blue low lives hiding in lives. theres no feeling in drinking. sleeping with strangers. hosts passing through bedrooms unaware. faint reflection on the barbacks mirror. face i never knew whispering, "Please dont be a stranger to me. who are you if youre alone." you're no good at pretending. all my plays have tragic endings. you wish i was a fairy tale; this frog will never change anything. just pretend that you're in love. that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually. so who is it that whispers in your ear. a haunting voice blows in through the window theres no feeling floating over beds a needy pleading apparition crying 'who am i if im alone? i hardly exist at all.' let's pretend that we dont need anything anymore from anyone. i dont want to feel anything anymore lets just pretend; we'll live happily ever after.
