Nice try, but I think you know why,
There's no way for you and I,
It's a solution.
To much has been said that can not be unsaid,
And all I see,
Is pain and confusion.
Do you think that we could go away for the weekend,
Meet up after work and say, hey this is just an old friend,
Darling let's pretend
I never turned my back on you,
You never told me I was cruel,
I never wanted you to try again.
You never said what's done is done,
And called me every name under the sun,
When love is gone, it's gone,
And in the end
Darling let's pretend.
You say that you cannot see the day,
When I am not in some way,
Part of your life.
To me it all seems so unlikely,
And deep down you probably,
Know that I'm right.
