Artist: Mathilde Santing Album: Carried Away (1991) Title: Pretending To Care
Lyrics Pretending To CareToday I am your chariot horse
tomorrow I’ll be your albatross
suspended by the finest thread
no one could ever see
And when there’s breathing in your ear
you put your faith in all you hear
but just how deep those feelings go
I have no way to know
I’ll never know
If I was blind would you still be my eyes
or hide everything you see
pretending to care about me
When all the time you’re just wishing I’d fade away
you can’t bring yourself to
Say out loud the reason why
you won’t admit you realize
the promise you’ve been living by
is just an empty shell
You’ll come to bear it like a cross
then start to tear it like frayed gauze
though I’m ashamed to be afraid
I just can’t help myself
just can’t help myself
And if I was blind would you still be my eyes
or hide everything you see
pretending to care about me
When all the time you’re just wishing I’d fade away
you can’t bring yourself to
care about me
If I was blind would you still be my eyes
or would you hide everything you see
pretending to care for me. |
