Stop Pretending (Version 2)
I don’t need to write a song for you, to win you over.
You’re already mine, but I’m too scared. Don’t want it to be over.
Cause if I mess it up, there’s no way of starting over.
/
I wish every second we share, I could play it over.
Rewind it, replay it and relieve it over and over.
-
I look into her eyes and I know it.
I see her smile and I feel it.
When she doesn’t want to leave when the night is over…
When we’re sitting close and she lies her head on my shoulder..
The way she leans on me when we’re walking…
The way she looks at me when we’re talking…
-
I’m tired of waiting,
Sick of the chasing.
I want to make you mine, but time isn’t on your side.
I could be your everything, your shining light.
But we’ll never know…Oh no, you won’t ever know.
-
I look into her eyes and I know it.
I see her smile and I feel it.
When she doesn’t want to leave when the night is over…
When we’re sitting close and she lies her head on my shoulder..
The way she leans on me when we’re walking…
The way she looks at me when we’re talking…
-
Don’t mind what other people try. Don’t let love die.
Because you know this is what you want, and this is what you need.
But get it before it’s too late, or you’ll lose the love laced by fate.
So tell it to me straight…!
Or you’ll miss the spark that makes your heart beat.
-
You know you’d be better off with me.
You know I’m the man he cannot be.
You know when I’m around you can be how you want to be.
(You know you don’t ever want to leave me.)
I’d be there whenever you need me…
I can make you laugh and smile,
but that’s as far as I can go, because that’s as far as you’ll go.
-
I look into your eyes and I know it.
I see your smile and I feel it.
When you don’t want to leave when the night is over…
When we’re sitting close and you lie your head on my shoulder..
The way you lean on me when we’re walking…
The way you look at me when we’re talking…

If we could only finally face the truth and confess what we feel.
We just might turn this thing to something that is real.
We could stop pretending and start something real.
