"Pretty Stories" lyrics

I won't say I didn't see this coming
I'm just surprised, 'cause it happened so fast
I didn't have time to prepare myself
I was busy making pretty stories
In my mind, and was free of worries

Tell me that you really meant it
When you said you loved me
I would hate to have made that part up
I see that you have found someone
Who makes you happy
And I hope you know that I'm glad
I just need a moment or two
'Cause even if you don't know it yet, I do
I'm losing you

I know that you don't know what to say (I know that you don't know what to say)
Now is not the time for running away (Now is not the time)
Don't let me down, girl
Don't let this be the way it ends

I know that you're holding back the tears (I know that you're holding back the tears)
Keep yourself together (Keep yourself together)
For just a little while longer
Give me a day, please, give me a night
Give me one more sunset, just one more sunrise
That's all

One last look at the man you love
So deep, so long
Come on, be strong!
Don't let him see, just be cool and smile
For God's sake, don't cry!
Just try to pretend you don't know
That this is goodbye
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Goodbye, oh, bye
Oh, bye, oh, bye
Goodbye
Goodbye
