[Verse 1] Maybe I’m just a phase in your life But for me, you’re the only one I’m fighting for tonight I know I’m not the one that you want But can’t you at least pretend, for me, for just one night [Pre-Chorus] Your melancholy was always there, hiding you Cutting the you I’m seeking apart from me The distance between us is starting to grow One more hour, then I will let you go [Chorus] But look at them, they’re happily dancing slow Why are we standing here put on a show? I know you don’t want anything to change The way it is is good enough for you But we’re both here, it’s all arranged Now all that is left for us to do Is take each other’s hands, follow or lead [Verse 2] The room is spinin' but time's standing still I'm chasing a promise I know you won't fulfil lYou're looking right through me, a ghost in the crowd While the music around us is playing too loud [bridge] For once can you pretend to swallow that pride For once can you look at the secrets you hide? I want this so badly, can’t you see You’re the only one that I need [Chorus] But look at them, they’re happily dancing slow Why are we standing here put on a show? I know you don’t want anything to change The way it is is good enough for you But we’re both here, it’s all arranged Now all that is left for us to do Is take each other’s hands, follow or lead [Outro] Please pretend just a little, do it for me.
