Raymond Meade, Jon Fratelli - Happy Pretending lyrics

I had a hard time fashioning
Some semblance of a line to bring
And trying to talk you out of harms way
But, you don't see things quite the same
In fact you'd might as well proclaim
You got no stomach for the
Struggle and you're happier pretending

There's coins in the sockets where
Your eyes once lay
Penance, an offer, or let me stay
If it comes to the best of us then
Wait and see what happens to you
You don't live in the real world
You don't live in a real life
I know you're happier that way
So happy pretending

I love the way you think that karma brings
An automatic end to things
But, I've been watching and I don't agree
But, you don't see things quite the same
In fact you'd might as well proclaim
You got no stomach for the
Struggle and you're happier pretending
