Lyrics: Acting like you still want me Leaves me quiet, small, and blue I close my eyes and keep on dreaming Though I know I can’t have you So I keep on acting Pretending it’s true I can’t pull you near When you don’t stand with me Your heart is spoken for You won’t belong to me So I keep on acting I’ll spend my whole life through Holding on inside Pretending it’s true Acting like I didn’t lose you But the bright hours now are few Dreams I drew for later won’t come true Pretending it’s true What more can I do? I can’t pull you near When you don’t stand with me Your heart is spoken for You won’t belong to me So I keep on acting I’ll spend my whole life through Holding on inside Pretending it’s true Listen Next:
