We can pretend
That nothing happened
We were never "there"
Nothing between us
Succumb to your fear

Complications and obligations
We can pretend
You don't feel
Don't crave a thing
Miss the wanton song we sing
Whenever MaC is thrilling 
And killing 
You…

Pretend you don't feel
The power surreal
Pretend that…
You can look into the eyes
And walk away
Pretend that nothing happened
And live to pretend another day
We can pretend
I am the "good" friend

Complications and obligations
To your own be true
We can pretend
All I don't want is you
Simple and true

We can pretend
And then again
You can submit to….
The pleasure and the pain
The pouring rain
The exquisite naughty
The delightful sense of guilty
The outrageous screams
The blak4orce
That dominates your dreams
And
Pretend 
That only fools 
Break sacred rules

Obligations and complications
The husbandly machinations
We can pretend
That nothing happened
We were never "here"
Nothing between us
Succumb to your fear...

We can pretend
Or you can close your eyes
And feel us again
And then…
Meet me there
Here
Obligations and complications
We can pretend
I don't really care
To your own be true
Lady 
All I want is you

Today, tomorrow
When…
We can pretend
Or 
We can meet again

Either way
I'm going to hurt you...
