The Art of Pretending

The Art of Pretending
Toto Sorioso

I’m fallin’ hard in a minute again.
It's funny how I can keep it from you out in the open.

Maybe I’m just a hopeless romantic
waiting for that perfect moment;
But ‘til then
This loneliness won’t end.

Lately I’m in denial;
But who am I foolin’
Saying I’ll be just fine.
Inside I’ve bee cryin’.
Holding it in so the truth will never be seen.

Hiding behind this empty smile is a heart that’s fragile.
I’m struggling to learn the art of pretending.
When you're with him, I can’t help it; I’m dying.
But since I see you so happy,
I force myself to live vicariously.

I keep reminding myself take it easy;
This is just a fleeting spell.
I know I’ll get to live and tell.

Lately I’m in denial;
But who am I foolin’
Saying I’ll be just fine.
Inside I’ve bee cryin’.
Holding it in so the truth will never be seen.
Hiding behind this empty smile is a heart that’s fragile.
I’m struggling to learn the art of pretending.

I used to wear my heart on my sleeve;
And lay all the cards on the table.
But I ended up vulnerable (so vulnerable).
Now I’m playing it safe from my losing streak.
I’m stuck in the middle, neither win nor defeat.
