about

No Use Pretending is an original song inspired by hearing about the end of a relationship as a consequence of betrayal.

lyrics

Give me your key
I’ll give you mine
Close the front door
When you leave me behind
Whisper remorse into my ear
You can’t console me
You bring me to my knees

There’s no use pretending
When love has to beg
I want to believe
But my heart feels heavy instead
Here at the edge
A voice cries out loud
I want to be heard like the loneliest child
Wanting to believe

I’ll draw the curtains
Unplug the phone
Noone will find me
Lost and alone
I’ll paint on a smile
Take a day at a time
You won’t see me
You won’t catch me crying

There’s no use pretending
When love has to beg
I want to believe
But my heart feels heavy instead
Here at the edge
A voice cries out loud
I want to be heard like the loneliest child
Wanting to believe
