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
