Pretending to Care — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

Today I am your chariot horse

Tomorrow Im your albatross

Suspended by the finest thread

No one could ever see

And when theres breathing in your ear

You put your faith in all you hear

But just how deep those feelings go

I have no way to know

Ill never know



If I was blind

Would you still be my eyes

Or hide everything you see

Pretending to care about me

When all the time

Youre just wishing Id fade away

You just cant bring yourself to



Say out loud the reasons why

You wont admit you realize

The promise youve been living by

Is just an empty shell

Youll come to bear it like a cross

Then start to tear it like frayed gauze

Though Im ashamed to be afraid

I just cant help myself

Cant help myself
