Smile and Pretend

With the sun’s first rays,
On a cold winter day,
Your memory’s the fuel like the wind in my sails,

Woke up in the morning,
Guess I forgot,
You used to be mine but now you’re not,

Ended our love story,
Now you’re in his arms,
He holds you tighter as you gaze up at the stars,

I know I said, we’re better off just friends,
Truth is I lied, but i’ll smile and pretend,

With the sun’s first rays,
On a cold winter day,
Your memory’s the fuel like the wind in my sails,

Touch the falling snow,
Feel the afterglow,
My enemies bask in the warmth of my daze,

I wanna tell you, but some words are better left unsaid,
Oh I wanna hold you, but I guess it’s too late…

But wait I see,
In your eyes a tear,
Maybe your new-found love’s now disappeared,

Maybe I still love you,
But I won’t take you back,
‘Cause you were the final lesson that I had to have,

I know you regret, walking away, but stay strong,
You’ll never be happier cause babe, you chose wrong,

With the sun’s first rays,
On a cold winter day,
Your memory’s the fuel like the wind in my sails,

Touch the falling snow,
Feel the afterglow,
My enemies bask in the warmth of my daze,

I wanna tell you, but some words are better left unsaid,
Oh I wanna hold you, but I guess it’s too late…

Said don’t worry ’bout him, he’s just a friend,
You’re the one I’ll stay with till the end,

Should’ve seen the signs, love made me blind,
You were just like the rest of them..

With the sun’s first rays,
On a cold winter day,
Your memory’s the fuel like the wind in my sails,

At least now I know,
Forever is a joke,
But if I could, I’d do it all over again…

Said don’t worry ’bout him,
He’s just a friend,
You’re the one I’ll stay with till the end,

Left my heart broke,
But no one knows,
‘Cause I’ll smile and I’ll pretend…
