Pretend Songtext

von Paul Tiernan

Have you ever noticed that
She never smiles in photographs?
I used to think it was just that
She was unhappy
But now I know it's something else
Something I had never known
She can never stop herself
From thinking of what might have been

And does she pretend
To keep me from breaking
And does she pretend
And what should I expect from someone so broken?

And when we fell in love I thought
I could make her smile again
But the camera never lies you know
It's true that she's still waiting
And when we make love it seems
That she's not always there with me
I can never tell if she's
Gone somewhere, I can never be

And does she pretend
To keep me from breaking
And does she pretend
And what should I expect from someone so broken?

And if we had a second chance
To live our lives out again
Would she smile in photographs
And never have to pretend
