Pretend
I've helped you through the mud
Sheltered you in the rain
Haven't you noticed what I've done
To help you through the pain?
I guess I should just get used to
Being used
And getting no gratitude.
I just want, someone to care
Or someone there
for me
And not only when they want to be
Is this what I get
For trying to be a good friend?
Now and then, I lie
When people ask "how you been?"
So, the next time if you hear me laugh
It's probably pretend
I'll admit it isn't fun
But I don't like to complain
Being the 'positive one'
Can really drive you insane
But there's nothing,
I can do
When that's all they expect from you
I just want, someone to care
Or someone there
For me
And not only when I'm happy
Is this what I get
For trying to be a good friend?
Now and then, I lie
When people ask "how you been?"
And I don't know when
I'll be myself again
So, the next time you see me smile
It's probably pretend
Oh, the next time you see me smile
Just know it's pretend
Sheltered you in the rain
Haven't you noticed what I've done
To help you through the pain?
I guess I should just get used to
Being used
And getting no gratitude.
I just want, someone to care
Or someone there
for me
And not only when they want to be
Is this what I get
For trying to be a good friend?
Now and then, I lie
When people ask "how you been?"
So, the next time if you hear me laugh
It's probably pretend
I'll admit it isn't fun
But I don't like to complain
Being the 'positive one'
Can really drive you insane
But there's nothing,
I can do
When that's all they expect from you
I just want, someone to care
Or someone there
For me
And not only when I'm happy
Is this what I get
For trying to be a good friend?
Now and then, I lie
When people ask "how you been?"
And I don't know when
I'll be myself again
So, the next time you see me smile
It's probably pretend
Oh, the next time you see me smile
Just know it's pretend
