I Can't Pretend

I Can't Pretend

I think of sweet things I could tell you

But they're bad for your health

I know you're going to get to hear them

So I keep them to myself

I'm on my very best behavior

I want to keep you as a friend

So just don't get any closer

'Cause then I can't pretend

No I can't pretend

I don't want you

And I can't pretend

I don't care

So if we're just friends well hell

Maybe this friendship should end right here

What was I thinking

Have I lost my mind

You stole my heart

And made me forget

Every single one of my lines

To think the sweet things I could tell you

But they're not in the script

I know I'd only throw you off

So I button up my lip

I'm on my very best behavior

Don't want to lose you as a friend

So just don't get any closer

'Cause then I can't pretend
