Pretending To Care

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Say out loud the reason 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

[Chorus]
And 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 can't bring yourself to

[Outro]
Care about me
Babe don't let me down now
Why don't you care, why don't you care about me
'Cause I know all the time
You're just wishing I'd fade away
You can't bring yourself to say
