Sweet Pretender

You wrote me a poem
A fantasy
Professed your love to me in half lucidity
You could not make this bluebird fly
In the darkness in the darkness
Of your half closed eyes.

I fell in love with a face
The way you held me
Your body your grace
But the real you could never take that memory's place.

I'll be your sweet pretender
How you gonna love me if you don't know me?
You never could remember
Anything I told you not a single story
This love won't last forever
But I'll be your sweet pretender.

I wrote you a love song
A prophecy
Professed my love for you
To the depths of my own sea
I could not make this bluebird fly
Even though, even though, even though I tried.

I fell in love with a face
The way you held me
Your body your grace
But the real you could never take that memories place.

I'll be your sweet pretender
How you gonna love me if you don't know me?
You never could remember
Anything I told you not a single story
This love won't last forever
But I'll be your sweet pretender.

I'll be your sweet pretender
How you gonna love me if you don't know me?
You never could remember
Anything I told you not a single story
This love won't last forever
But I'll be your sweet pretender.

You never really tasted what I could give
I gotta get away I got this life to live
I was higher, higher than you could reach
But for now, for now I guess I'll be.

I'll be your sweet pretender
How you gonna love me if you don't know me?
You never could remember
Anything I told you not a single story
This love won't last forever
But I'll be your sweet pretender.

I'll be your sweet pretender
How you gonna love me if you don't know me?
You never could remember
Anything I told you not a single story
This love won't last forever
But I'll be your sweet pretender.
