Pretending

You said you knew

What I said was true

Your actions betray

No privy to the truth

You caught a glimpse

Then closed your eyes

The seeds I threw

Never grew inside

I thought you'd change

I don't understand

I guess you were just

Pretending

I said I knew

What I should not do

My actions betrayed

The One I tried to prove

You saw the lie

Then closed your mind

And my regress

Became your best excuse

It's hard to change

I understand

You thought I was just

Pretending

It's so easy

To see right through me

Trying to be better than I am

What we need more

Is to be sure

We can be forgiven for

Pretending
