I pretend to write you all these love poems

[Intro] I came back Now that I know Love is not perfect And I still want you As I always did It’s just that my eyes weren’t open [Verse 1] I looked for you in every corner Of the homes I lived in, In every corner of love And every corner of pain. I hoped to find you at every turn, In each empty stretch of the world, In any kind gentle gaze That didn’t have your smile — And which was my ruin [Chorus] Without you, This house will always be this echo of the love I’m losing. I came back to try to find you, Pretending to forget past things. I pretend to be someone else to meet you again, To find you in life’s accidents As if it were the first time, With our first “maybe” — But with love being real. [Verse 2] I came back, Now that I know Love is not perfect, And I still want you As I always did. It’s just that my eyes weren’t open. [Pre‑Chorus] I looked for you in every corner Of the homes I lived in, In every corner of love And every corner of pain. I hoped to find you at every turn, In each empty stretch of the world, In any kind gentle gaze That didn’t have your smile — And which was my ruin [Chorus,] Without you, This house will always be this echo of the love I’m losing. I came back to try to find you, Pretending to forget past things. I pretend to be someone else to meet you again, To find you in life’s accidents As if it were the first time, With our first “maybe” — But with love being real. [Bridge] Now I know Love is not perfect, And I still want you As I always did. [Outro, Poetic Recital, Spoken Word ] I came back, now that I know Love is not perfect, And I still want you as I always did. It’s just that my eyes weren’t open. I pretend to be someone else to meet you again, To find you in life’s accidents As if it were the first time, With our first “maybe”... But with love being real.
