Can't Even Pretend
I found you here all alone
With your swollen head
Your mouth wrapped around a microphone
Something in your tone
Matched your eyes, all red
When you were living in that empty room
Roam, roam
Room, room, room
Yeah, just a few years ago
You told me "love is a loan"
"The heart of interest and debt"
Back then you were still making rent
Now you can't even pretend
No, you can't even pretend
You can't even pretend
You can't even pretend
Listening for your voice
Like for the rustle of paper
Over ten slamming doors
It wasn't even a choice
More of a possession
More of a stretching
More of a daily chore
And it was a chore
A chore, a chore, a chore
But when you finally would speak
It wouldn't stop for weeks
And my mind would always bend
Yeah, every word was a gift
Now I can't even pretend
No, I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
With your swollen head
Your mouth wrapped around a microphone
Something in your tone
Matched your eyes, all red
When you were living in that empty room
Roam, roam
Room, room, room
Yeah, just a few years ago
You told me "love is a loan"
"The heart of interest and debt"
Back then you were still making rent
Now you can't even pretend
No, you can't even pretend
You can't even pretend
You can't even pretend
Listening for your voice
Like for the rustle of paper
Over ten slamming doors
It wasn't even a choice
More of a possession
More of a stretching
More of a daily chore
And it was a chore
A chore, a chore, a chore
But when you finally would speak
It wouldn't stop for weeks
And my mind would always bend
Yeah, every word was a gift
Now I can't even pretend
No, I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
I can't even pretend
