You said you knew

What I said was true

Your actions betray

No privy to the truth



You caught a glimpse

Then closed your eyes

The seeds I threw

Never grew inside



I thought you'd change

I don't understand

I guess you were just

Pretending



I said I knew

What I should not do

My actions betrayed

The One I tried to prove



You saw the lie

Then closed your mind

And my regress

Became your best excuse



It's hard to change

I understand

You thought I was just

Pretending



It's so easy

To see right through me

Trying to be better than I am

What we need more

Is to be sure

We can be forgiven for

Pretending
