Lyrics Can't Pretend - Matthew Sweet

Can't Pretend

I’ll say goodbye, but I’ll put it aside
What I try to find
All the time knowing that nothing will change
Well, I take the time 'cause it’ll take some time
And I cannot help my life
If I can’t pretend that you’re here with me
It hurts my head, it hurts my heart
Now I can’t pretend that you’re here for me
And I’m there for you
I’ll say goodbye, but I’ll put it aside
Till I want to know
I’m spinnin' out
I can see there is no place for me to go
Not for me to go
I cannot help my life
If I can’t pretend that you’re here with me
It hurts my head, it hurts my heart
I can’t pretend that you’re here for me
And I’m there for you
Cannot help my life
If I can’t pretend that you’re here with me
It hurts my head, it hurts my heart
Now I can’t pretend that you’re here for me
That I’m there for you
