I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again
I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again

I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again

Baby, we don't know
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
Baby, we don't show
(That maybe this life)
But I can't make you understand
(Won't hold you again)
And I can't be the better man

So I don't see the summer gone
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
And I don't feel your heart and soul
(That maybe this life)
And I won't be the one you love
(Won't hold you again)
'Cause your whole world has got to stop

I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again

Baby, we don't know
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
Baby, we don't show
(That maybe this life)
But I don't think you understand
(Won't hold you again)
And I can't be the better man

So I don't see the summer gone
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
And I don't feel your heart and soul
(That maybe this life)
And I won't be the one you love
(Won't hold you again)
'Cause your whole world has got to stop
I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again

Baby, we don't know
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
Baby, we don't show
(That maybe this life)
But I cannot think you understand
(Won't hold you again)
And I can't be the better man

So I don't see the summer gone
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
And I can't feel your heart and soul
(That maybe this life)
But I won't be the one you love
(Won't hold you again)
'Cause your whole world has got to stop

I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again
I don't ever wanna pretend
That maybe this life won't hold you again
(Cut down by a flower)

Cutting me down with love
(I don't ever wanna pretend)
Holding me off this drug
(That maybe this life)
Holding me off this drug
Cutting us down with love
