Room 712, The Apache

Let's say that was then
Here we go again
All our friends are filling the room
It's like a play
And the words that I'll say
Are not for you, they're for that costume
Giving you hope
That when they pull the rope
It's on a happy ending, but, baby, I'm pretending

Isn't it hard?
The windows are barred
But you can't let go and can't hold onto
Anything sure
That's attached and secure
Looking for a lifeline online
Something to show
That I really do know
So that's the file I'm sending, but, baby, I'm pretending

Baby, I'm pretending even though I know better

But I can't refuse
'Cause, although on a ruse
You've come to me depending, baby, I'm pretending

Baby, I'm pretending (baby, I'm pretending)
Baby, I'm pretending (baby, I'm pretending)
