I Pretend

I pretend I'm alive;
I pretend I like things;
I pretend I know what I'm talking about;
I pretend to love my family;
I pretend to love my girlfriend;
I pretend to be close to my friends;
I pretend to have a good time;
I pretend to be happy...
I pretend to play the guitar;
I pretend to sing, and then they'll laugh, and I pretend to be amused.
I pretend life is great;
I pretend life's prospects will be great also;
I pretend to drive to places;
I pretend to enjoy the parties;
I pretend to smile before the flash, and I show my teeth when I pretend to smile;
I pretend I'm surprised when I receive a gift;
I pretend to be so happy when I meet someone new;
I pretend I need to be well dressed;
I pretend I need to talk with eloquency;
I pretend I need a good job;
I pretend I need all these fancy ikea furnitures;
And night would fall and I'm all alone and I'll sit by my old creaky table;
I drink tequila with two cubes of ice;
I listen to the sound of them clashing together;
Then I realize I'm not pretending to hear this;
then my minds will wonder, all free, in every direction;
then I close my eyes;
then the world is dark;
I stand up, pretend it's another whole new day, and it's gonna be great, all the troubles are no more.
I pretend I care.
