I can't and I won't pretend for you anymore.
The innocence is gone, but don't tell me that it's over.

Well, I choose my words carefully now and I dance around the truth.
And I get phantom pains now that you're gone.

I can't hide from those eyes and I can't erase the way they filled up when I said "no"
You love me and that's why it's so easy to hate me.
