Even If You Don't, Pretend To Love Me For A Second

by XLilMissFrostyx

Painfully trying to swallow my own self loathing
As pride collapses agonizingly down around me
Seeing pity in your eyes, the tears begin to well
Shouldn't, but can't help throwing myself at your feet

For even though you've finally moved on in your life
I'm still clinging desperately to our cherished memories
Hoping against hope that you will find it in your heart
To let down the barriers and finally start to forgive me

How could I have ever treated you the way that I did
Had the best thing in the world, was to selfish to realize
Oh if only I could turn back time, erase all my mistakes
I'd do it in a heartbeat just for one more minute with you

This heart is breaking into more shattered pieces each day
Darling don't you find it to be a little more than ironic
Remember how I used to hate all that small town drama
Isn't it funny how I'm now one big ball of tired cliche

Don't know what else I can possibly say to rectify this
One thing wanted more than anything in this whole world
To finally be back inside your secure and loving embrace
Baby...For all old times sake, pretend to love me for a second
