Her Pretend (Your Reality)

 She keeps me outside her door … she knows I’ve been thru stuff like this before …

that’s why she knows I’ll wait … she’ll make it up to me in a catatonic state

she always tries to cheer me up … the more she does the more she knows I’ll be loyal as a pup

she knows I’ll never make it thru another heartache again … but that don’t stop her from playing with me her pretend

she’s always asking me what’s wrong … she says thinking about you is bad for writing songs 

but I don’t write them just because they’re true …

.

I give her money just to spend … she says she’ll love me until the very end

that’s how I know we’ll end much too soon … because in her world I am just her cartoon

when she needs comic relief she’ll have me over twice a week … and she’ll even let me drink 

she knows I’ll never do her harm …  my only real vice is my charm … and I only use it for good … she knows I’ll always be as I should

for years she’s seen me do it before

.

but when my money runs dry … she’ll find someone else that makes her cry … until I can take her shopping again … with me she’ll be happy to play pretend

she can count on me always being lonely … she says nothing will come of me thinking of you only … she wishes there’s something she could say to make the pain go away

but then she says something that is so profound … and it reminds me of when you didn’t want me around

an endless cycle of lonely entertain … because of the one person who let me sit out in the rain … the only one I rode thru thunder and lighting … just to hear you tell me why I’m only interested in fighting

.

the most wonderful time of your year will be here soon … you’ll be sipping on the blood of innocents looking up at the Eastern Europe moon … life if is so good now that I’m not near … with such a grand performance telling all its me you fear

you know there is no reason imaginable to be afraid of any one who truly loves you
