Let's Pretend

In the stillness of the night
My eyes are closed
My mouth is wide
I could see her face
Her beautiful hair
I could recognize
She looks at me cold
She probably don’t know how I am
Mommy it’s me
It’s Keith
You had me back when
But sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
That she holds me
But sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
That she holds me
I guess I can’t
Because she doesn’t know who I am
My mind it’s dreaming
God it’s so misleading
Do you think it’s 'cause I’ve grown old
Is it true that what I was told
You cried to leave me
You know I know it’s not your fault
You had a husband who was selfish and cold
Believe me I know
Now I hear you used to treat me cold
You disappeared and left me all alone
I’m sure you didn’t know right from wrong
'Cause both of you were always getting stoned
But sometimes I like to pretend (repeat)
That she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she holds me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend
That she holds me
I guess I can’t
Because she doesn’t know who I am
