Well, I held you with our undry eyes,
happy years pass by,
it's okay to cry.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
Well, it's sticks and stones,
and broken homes
that taught us how to smile.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
There's a name that plays
in my head all day long,
like a song, she's with me every day.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
Everyone needs...
Everyone needs...
Everyone needs...
If the sun can't shine,
you'll be just fine.
Look into your mind,
where you're free.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
'Cause we hurt each other once before,
let's not do that again.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
And a voice, so familiar
wakes me up in the middle,
she thinks that I'm havin' a bad dream.
After all,
in the end,
just pretend.
Everyone needs...
Everyone needs...
Everyone needs...
After all,
it's the end...
