Fated to Pretend

Let's pretend my fingers aren't laced with longing

while your fingers are laced with hers.

Let's pretend that "friend" doesn't taste like acid on my lips

meanwhile she's tasting your tongue. 

Let's pretend hearts didn't get pulled

when you pushed me away and fell into her

Let's pretend pushing didn't knock the breath out of me

While you're making her breathless in the sheets

Let's pretend I don't care

Let's pretend that you do.

But in all honesty 

Let's pretend the person in your body

 is actually still you.
