"Pretending" lyrics

"Pretending"

Dawn breaks the day
I crossed a frozen lake
I saw an eagle fly away
But I could feel my heart descending
I went off by myself
Cause there was no one else
It didn't go real well
And the lonely nights were never-ending

Fool's gold
My love
Marching like a high school band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face
And made your heart all aglow
Before I took it too slow

Well just a slight-of-hand
I'm crying wolf again
I should've known right then
That you were only pretending
I heard the shushing pines, they called
I heard them whisper your name, I thought
I know I sound insane
It's all the alone time I've been spending

Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band, down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Did I take it to...

Another day is done
Another setting sun
Shadows dance to flame
Across the fortress I'm defending
Another train of thought
Another world apart
Ride the iron horse I caught
Into a story never-ending

Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know

I'm going back in time, my secret valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know, nobody needs to know
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know
