I heard another voice this morning on the 'phone

But just the other day I thought you said you slept alone

And yes I knew that laughter, okay, now i see

You wouldn't even know him if it hadn't been for me

Sometimes in the fading light



I can't help thinking back to, well, the way we were

Then I start feeling guilty lying next to her

I know, and it can't be right



Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away



If you write again perhaps you shouldn't send it here

It's just that I don't really want your letters to appear

Oh no, I just think she might



Forget I ever said that I'm just being scared

I told her all about you and I don't think she even cared

I know but it's not alright



Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away



And does the thought of leaving him brings you to tears?

I bet you never felt the same about me all those years

Well you know, just what it's like



Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away
