Forever Pretender

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I once fell for a girl With flax in her hair With eyes of blue And a face so fair A dance of glances And smiles of demure For never did I see a heart so pure The tides of time swept my chance away And my brightest world returned to grey I was once sweet on a girl Of auburn red Listening raptly To every word she said Witty and wild With a host of freckles on her nose Thorns twist in' As I was not the man she chose Oh, lessons never really learned So who am I to teach? Oh, heart on your sleeve it only makes you bleed So cover up, cover up Oh, lived a boy might as well die a man Try all you can, all you can Forever pretender It seems you've done wrong Breaking up your vows And breaking into song You told the flaxen girl you'd always care And you told the auburn girl you'd always be there Where are they now? Oh, a thousand words spoken out But none of them meant Oh, living in a drunken fairytale How much values bent? Oh, how easy it can be to dream So stay awake, stay awake Stay awake Forever pretender It seems you've done wrong Breaking up your vows And breaking into song You told the flaxen girl you'd always care And you told the auburn girl you'd always be there Where are they now? Will the swallows still fly south for the winter? The trees turn to russet and gold? Cause this ain't love its an idea And I gotta pay for all these lies I've told Rugged and wild like the waves of the sea With mismatched eyes to match Both you and me Tell me how it feels to be so free? An feiceann tú me? Mar feicim thú I'm ending this for me but mainly for you Cause a snake can't stop just biting And a fighter can't stop fighting And nothing sails as sweet as love to be And nothing sinks like tragedy Abashed and bruised The heart will cease to beat Deject emotion and the let the feeling fleet So forever pretender It seems you've done wrong Breaking up your vows And breaking into song You told the flaxen girl you'd always care You told the auburn girl you'd be there Where are they now? Where are you now?
