Always the Pretenders

                                  Maybe we forced the deal, delivered some kind of blow

Maybe we broke the seal, cracks began to show

Maybe we crossed the line, got everything off the ground

Maybe we lit the fuse, a habit hard to lose



All I can remember, all I can recall is you

Telling me there's been an accident

Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do

Every day I miss your innocence



Maybe we ran the lights, somehow we caused the scene

Maybe we learned to fight, as part of a routine

Maybe we jumped the wall, suddenly tipped the scale

Maybe we tried too hard, so afraid to fail



All I can remember, all I can recall is you

Telling me there's been an accident

Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do

Every day I miss your innocence



Something's lost, for what it's worth

You and me, this is our church

There is still some love 'round here



All I can remember, all I can recall is you

Telling me there's been an accident

Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do

Every day I miss your innocence
