We Can't Pretend

I realize it now 
I've tried so hard to tell you 
But you don't want to hear a word 

But the show must go on 
You'll have to recognize 
The things we've said before 

We've said before 
We have no home 

You don't need the things you've loved before 
We can't pretend that life is simply what we want 
The things we miss or that we hope for 

Leave it all behind 
And I'll tell you one thing 
You will miss all this [bad word] 

'Cause everything you know 
Is everything that I 
Never wanted anyway 

Don't lie to me 

You don't need the things you've loved before 
We can't pretend that life is simply what we want 
The things we miss or that we hope for
