Utopia - Pretending Lyrics
I was right the first timeBut I outguessed myselfYou sympathized so sweetlyWhen you sent me to hellWhat have I got to complain forHad to throw myself overboardLike to see that my dues are paidIts just the way I was madeAnd when I cry, I was burning insideYoure out there pretendingAnd though I lie, I had nothing to hideYoure the one whos pretendingI live in anticipationThings that never occurredTurned my back to the loving onesOn the strength of your wordWhats the answer Im looking forYou mix your meanings with metaphorsGlass bricks and a ten foot wallYou really dont care at allAnd when I came to relieve all the painYou were somewhere pretendingAnd Im still here, and its still just as clearThat youre only pretendingI believe in believingAnd I hope that theres still hope for mecause I need to be needingAnd youre free to be free as you pleaseBut Im not the kindWho can live with lifeAnd I never couldcause Im just no good at pretendingWhats the truth after all this timeIs it your perception or is it mineSometimes youre better off aloneYou cant get blood from a stoneAnd while you cry, Ill be laughing insidecause I know youre pretendingLook me straight in the eyeWhen I tell you good byecause I wont be pretendingYou could beg me and fall down on your kneesBut youd just be pretendingMaybe someday youll have something to sayAnd you wont be pretending
