Pretending to love
sometimes better for you
(If you) lend me your love
you can open up too

Pretending to love
sometimes all that I've got
Depends who's around
and what they were taught

Pretending at love is
an art to itself
Depending on skills
you learnt on the shelf

Pretending at love
sometimes all you can give
Intending some more
but forgetting to live

Intending to love
empty echoing spaces
Pretending they're real
in a life with no traces

Pretending at love
is all there's to do
(When you're) depending on love
they're pretending for you
