Pretend That You're Dead


This hurts,
This is painful.
Hell is finally freezing over,
And I’m doing something that I never thought
I would do.

Chorus:
Because this is the time
That I finally have to say goodbye,
And the only way that I can deal with this grief
Is to pretend that you’re dead;
Pretend that you’re dead in my world
And that I’ll never get to see you again,
Never hear your voice again.

Because you decided to cut the ties,
After all these years,
I guess the past five have all been lies—
So I’m going to shed a few last tears
It’s time to move on,
You’re no longer here.

Chorus

Maybe you met somebody new,
But I’m done second guessing
Everything that you’ve said and done—
Just going to cherish all the memories
Reminisce knowing that it wasn’t my fault,
Remember the man I loved who wasn’t
Leaving me in the dust, alone.

Chorus

Pretend that you’re dead
Because I’m done and you’re oh so gone.
You’re out of my life.

Chorus

Oh no, I’m just going to pretend that you’re dead.
