don't be so kind to me my friend
you're gonna make me cry
I would prefer that you pretend
you don't see what's in my eyes
you offer comfort
I can't accept
you whisper soft words
I can't hear them yet
you could see it on my face
I know you could read it there
you could drive me from this place
you could lay me bare, oh
don't be so cruel to me my friend
don't make me say goodbye
it would be best if you pretend
you don't know what's on my mind
you know me so well
fixin' your steady gaze
and if I won't tell
you'll never turn away
do you think that I can't see
I shouldn't play this game, oh
you just want what's best for me
wish I could say the same, oh
don't ask those things of me my friend
I need a little time
for now let's both of us pretend
that everything is fine
