I know that the flame has burned out
The love has left your eyes
All that remains for me are the memories
And these tears I cry
But baby, can you understand
How hard it is for me to face the end?
Please, just for tonight, pretend
I'm movin' down the highway
Come morning light
I won't be turning back, you'll be free at last
I've given up my fight
But baby, there's a whole lot of darkness standin'
Between now and then
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Please, pretend
One last tender kiss
Please, don't leave me
Hangin' on the jagged edge like this
Suffer me one more illusion
Indulge this obsessive need
I'm a prideful man, doin' the best I can
With what's left of me
I ain't looking for your pity, baby
Just strength to live again
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Please, pretend
One last tender kiss
Please, don't leave me
Hangin' on the jagged edge like this
Suffer me one more illusion
Indulge this obsessive need
I'm a prideful man, doin' the best I can
With what's left of me
I ain't looking for your pity, baby
Just strength to live again
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Pretend
Pretend
