Can't Pretend Anymore - Kim Walker Music

This was going to be a love song, to celebrate the years.
Just another little love song, to kiss away all those tears.
Now you’ve dreamed a whole new vision, it’s a future without me.
The torment and pain in your soul laid bare when you made that emotional plea. You said …

I can’t pretend to love you anymore.
I can’t pretend to love you anymore.
Don’t have the will to fight, please sleep somewhere else tonight. If you respect me, then set me free.
Honesty won’t let me just ignore,
I can’t pretend to love you anymore.

Well this should’ve been a love song, about us as lovers, parents, friends.
Every note a happy memory, and a chorus that never ends.
Now sadness flows from your pen while my heart spills on the page,
It took time and courage to find the truth and the words that I finally said.

This was going to be a love song, a chance to make amends.
Now it’s a different kind of love song, we didn’t make it to the end.
There’s no need to say goodbye, I don’t plan, to disappear,
Our love together won’t be erased or those words that still burn in my ears.

I can’t pretend to love you anymore. (I didn’t know you were pretending to love me)
I can’t pretend to love you anymore. (Hard to believe your love has gone)
Don’t have the will to fight please/I’ll sleep somewhere else tonight (You’ll be alone)
If you respect me then set me free/(I respect and set you free)
Can’t give what I don’t have/(I tried to make things right you couldn’t change)
Wanna make my own life/(I’ll move on with my life and start anew)
Honesty won’t let me just ignore/(Maybe soon I’ll admit)
I can’t pretend to love you anymore.
