Don't Pretend
I miss that week in the hospital
Too sick to see you but made sure to call
It spiraled downward from then when I got sick again
I'm overwhelmed by it all
If I could open up enough
To feel your love
Maybe it'd be more bearable
'Til the treatments end
But don't pretend that the world has
Never been good to you
Don't suspend all your plans
When you know you should follow through
I never pushed the limits
I lived inside them and minded
Didn't dare ask questions
Never swam in the deep end
I was afraid to try
Now I feel like a bad kid
'Cause no one deserves this
So I'll just sit here quietly
With my hands folded
But don't pretend that the world has
Never been good to you
Don't suspend all your plans
When you know you should follow through
Don't you dare play the victim
When you have the power to choose
Don't pretend that the world has never been good to you
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
I won't pretend anymore
The bad can discover the goodness that hovers
Over you
Too sick to see you but made sure to call
It spiraled downward from then when I got sick again
I'm overwhelmed by it all
If I could open up enough
To feel your love
Maybe it'd be more bearable
'Til the treatments end
But don't pretend that the world has
Never been good to you
Don't suspend all your plans
When you know you should follow through
I never pushed the limits
I lived inside them and minded
Didn't dare ask questions
Never swam in the deep end
I was afraid to try
Now I feel like a bad kid
'Cause no one deserves this
So I'll just sit here quietly
With my hands folded
But don't pretend that the world has
Never been good to you
Don't suspend all your plans
When you know you should follow through
Don't you dare play the victim
When you have the power to choose
Don't pretend that the world has never been good to you
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
I won't pretend anymore
The bad can discover the goodness that hovers
Over you
