I Quit Pretending Songtext
I stood out further than I could,
Maybe I could have,
Maybe I should,
Maybe I didn't want you to cry,
Maybe I'm the alibi,
Maybe I wrote that song,
Maybe it was me who got it all wrong,
Maybe it's just in my mind,
Contrasting feeling that I need to find,
So I think back to that day we met,
You were so beautiful,
I never will forget,
Then you opened up your eyes,
Looked at me and kind of smiled,
What was running through your head,
While I thought of the words I said,
I'm so sorry,
Maybe this wasn't meant to be,
I quit pretending,
That your in love with me

I waited for you day and night,
Maybe it was me that was right,
Why does it always come down to this,
Stick around,
Enjoy that final kiss,
Make your way back to me soon,
Maybe it was wrong,
Maybe it was right,
What we did on that night,
Maybe it was all just a good dream,
Maybe we're really tearing at the seams,
I quit pretending,
That you're in love with me,

So I broke an engagement with myself,
Take my prized possessions,
And put them on the shelf,
Make your way back to me,
Maybe one day it can be,
Like it was before,
Maybe one day my head will be straight,
And my feet will be on the floor,
Maybe I just don't know anything,
Maybe it's a lie,
Would you let someone close,
Convince you they can fly,
Would you let them jump and try,
Maybe see them soar through the sky,
Maybe see them fall to the ground,
Maybe it's a way in,
Our maybe it's the way out,
I quit pretending,
This love has all worn out
