Pretty Stories

[Verse 1]

I won't say I didn't see this coming

I'm just surprised, 'cause it happened so fast

I didn't have time to prepare myself

I was busy making pretty stories

In my mind, and was free of worries

[Verse 2]

Tell me that you really meant it

When you said you loved me

I would hate to have made that part up

I see that you have found someone

Who makes you happy

And I hope you know that I'm glad

I just need a moment or two

'Cause even if you don't know it yet, I do

I'm losing you

[Verse 3]

I know that you don't know what to say (I know that you don't know what to say)

Now is not the time for running away (Now is not the time)

Don't let me down, girl

Don't let this be the way it ends

I know that you're holding back the tears (I know that you're holding back the tears)

Keep yourself together (Keep yourself together)

For just a little while longer

[Verse 4]

Give me a day, please, give me a night

Give me one more sunset, just one more sunrise

That's all

One last look at the man you love

So deep, so long

Come on, be strong

Don't let him see, just be cool and smile

For God's sakes, don't cry

Just try to pretend you don't know

That this is goodbye

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro]

Goodbye, oh, bye

Oh, bye, oh, bye

Goodbye

Goodbye
