you don't need to pretend,
nor do you need to act;
as though you care,
as though you give a damn.

don't give me that fake smile,
it's not gonna help.
don't ask me if i'm okay,
you know jolly well i'm not.

it's a shame how we ended,
and what's left is pretendence.
it's like me, willing to die;
living in this big lie.

don't pretend anymore,
don't hurt me anymore,
don't torture me anymore,
please,
don't lie to me anymore.

don't suffocate me further;
it's beyond what i can take.
don't stab my heart all over again,
it's beyond what i call pain.

but after all;
you gave me a before.
so should i thank you,
for acting like you cared?
or should i hate you,
for pretending like you cared?
