lyrics

I can’t explain what remains,
But I know it disappears when I’m with you.
I can’t help but sympathize with the pain that’s in your eyes,
As it falls into this pool that I just sink into.

I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true.
I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true, when I’m with you.

I know it will take time for us both to unwind,
But I hope that we unravel some truth.
I know this feeling’s new, and I know you feel it too
‘Cause we couldn’t smile this wide if these were lies I told to you.

I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true.
I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to imagine what I’d do if I had you

If I had you all to myself, there’s a chance it could be hell,
But I’d happily walk through the flames with you
And if you took this risk, took my hand, returned this kiss,
You’d fuel the fires but we both know that’d be nothing new.

I can’t explain what remains,
But I know it disappears when I’m with you.
I used to call it pain, I used to place the blame.
Now I’m back to playing the game, I guess I’ll roll my dice on you.

I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true.
I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend when I’m with you.
I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true.
I know I’ll always be alone,
But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true, when I’m with you.
