Please Don't Pretend that I'm Not Here
I'm used to not hearing from a lot of people
but I'm not used to not hearing from you
I'm not so far across the table
is this the best that we can do
Please don't pretend that I'm not here
please don't pretend my dear
you know I need you very near
you know I need you very near
I'm like a tree alive in your backyard
life is good but today is hard
I won't say the fall is unforgiving
but I'm partly dying, partly living
Please don't pretend that I'm not here
please don't pretend my dear
you know I need you very near
you know I need you very near |
The weather's strange as it can be
I know you change so change with me
the thought of settling down is soothing
but to settle right, we keep on moving
I'm used to not hearing from a lot of people
but I'm not used to not hearing from you
you can talk about your trouble
I'll still be with you when you're through, but
Please don't pretend that I'm not here
please don't pretend my dear
you know I need you very near
you know I need you very near
you know I need you |
