When someone starts to mention your name
I turn off my ears and look somewhere far away
And I put on a smile and imagine your face
I pretend you and I are in love
I pretend you and I are in love, oh
I watch the whole time as you drove away
As if convinced that by staring with my two eyes
I could make you turn around and stay
But I can't control the hands of time
I can't hang on what isn't mine
I pretend you and I are in love
I pretend you and I are in love, oh
I pretend you and I are in love
I pretend you and I are in love, mmmm
