I could pretend the sun shines when I ask it to I could pretend that I fill out the moon I could pretend that the waves roll in on my cue I could pretend but that's just not the truth That's just not the truth I could pretend that i bought an island for no use I could pretend that i had the money to I could pretend that my friends would come over Just to see my ocean view I could pretend but that's just not the truth That's just not the truth I could pretend that there's another who's just like you I could pretend that I could find someone new I could pretend that the earth would keep spinning If I'm not where you come home to I could pretend but that's just not the truth That's just not the truth
