Some of us promise now and forever
Kisses that cover emptiness in rings of hollow laughter
Some people know exactly where they're heading
A tattered old dress
A million dollar wedding
Maybe you'll see sadness in this picture
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
How could I make you see
This was never meant to be
I won't pretend

If you line up a roll of stones and cherries
Bet it on red and win and go and cash it all in
Then you might buy a fake diamond tiara
Cry crocodile tears that run like your mascara
Somebody wants to take your picture
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
How could I make you see
This was never meant to be
I won't pretend

Sometimes I think I see the end approaching
Somebody said "have mercy on their soul"
I tried to believe the story I'm telling
Kiss me once more before I lose control
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
That wasn't why we started
So end my broken hearted
I won't pretend

I won't pretend
I won't pretend
I won't pretend
I won't pretend...
