Don't Keep Pretending - Paul Brady

Here comes the let down

Hearing your voice on the telephone

Wanting you here with me

Knowing I’m going to be on my own

When you say that it won’t be tonight

Should I show you I’m hurting?

Would it help me to stand up and fight

Or would that be just the chance you’ve been waiting for?

Don’t keep pretending

That we aren’t drifting apart

You’re fooling yourself

You know that you’re never going to leave him

And if this thing is ending

Please don’t keep breaking my heart

If I’m not the one

Then baby please tell me that it’s over

You come and cry on my shoulder

You promise me this time you’re really through

And I end up believing

That this time I’m goin' to have all of you

Then you say that you think we should wait

Just a little bit longer

Should I tell you it’s getting too late

To keep on believing I mean that much to you?

Don’t keep pretending

That we aren’t drifting apart

You’re fooling yourself

You know that you’re never going to leave him

And if this thing is ending

Please don’t keep breaking my heart

If I’m not the one

Then baby please tell me that it’s over

Don’t keep pretending

That you really want to let go baby

Is this the ending?

'Cause I can start to feel you slip away

Don’t keep pretending

That he doesn’t have a hold on you

Is this the ending?

Oh I really got to know the answer baby

Don’t keep pretending

That you really want to be with me

Do you really want to be with me?

Whenever I wake up in the night

Your promises echo in my mind

But my heart keeps telling me this could never be

And then I would say it over again

That I would never be your fool

No I can’t believe this is happening to me
