Jennifer Warnes - Pretending To Care lyrics

rate me

Written by Todd Rundgren

Today I am your chariot horse

Tomorrow I'm 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

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 just can't bring yourself to

Say out loud the reasons 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

And then start to tear it like frayed gauze

Though I'm ashamed to be afraid

I just can't help myself

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

Please don't let me down

Why don't you care, why don't you care about me?

Cause I know all the time you're just wishing I'd fade away

You can't bring yourself to say
