I remember the day we met.
It was warm, blue skies in the autumn sweat.
We shared a cigarette.
I said something along the lines of,
"How are you? Do you have a light?"
and you smiled.
If you pretend, it seemingly works out.
You get what you put out, if you pretend.
I left you high and dry without a call or a note to why
I never said goodbye.
A selfish act, I know.
The sweat had turned to winter snow, alone and cold.
You still revere my name, the kinder heart to take the blame,
forgiving all the pain.
If you pretend, it seemingly works out.
You get what you put out, if you pretend.
I still pretend one day it will work out.
I get what I put out.
I still pretend.
I remember the day we met.
It was warm, blue skies in the autumn sweat.
We shared a cigarette.
