Pretending To Care

Today I am your chariot horse

Tomorrow I'm your albatross

Suspended by the finest thread

No one could ever see



And when there's breathing in your ear

You put your faith in all you hear

But just how deep those feelings go

I have no way to know



I'll never know

If I was blind

Would you still be my eyes

Or hide everything you see



Pretending to care about me

When all the time

You're just wishing I'd fade away

You just can't bring yourself to



Say out loud the reasons why

You won't admit you realize

The promise you've been living by

Is just an empty shell



You'll come to bear it like a cross

Then start to tear it like frayed gauze

Though I'm ashamed to be afraid

I just can't help myself



Can't help myself
