Pretend

Say it now,
In sweet, secret darkness.
It's just us now,
No one to hear us.
Even I can pretend you said nothing.
I won't hear you,
So you can tell me.
Please just let me pretend that you love me?

My tangled words,
You pull them from me.
They come out all wrong,
But I know you hear me.
Even you can pretend this means something.
I won't trust you,
So you can't fail me.
Please can you just pretend that you love me?
