You Don’t Have To

Remember walking hand in hand side by side

We walked the dogs and took long strolls in the park

Except we never had dogs and never went to the park

Remember when we used to fuck all night long?

Neither do i because i always passed out,

I needed lots of the booze, to handle the pain.

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

It just embarrasses me and makes you look like a fool

Remember when the tenderness stopped

And the kindness turned to pity and disgust

And the smiles were stopped before they could start

And understanding was now just a tool

We used it every chance we got be cruel

And we cringed because we couldn’t make ourselves stop

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

It just embarrasses me and makes you look like a fool

There are days when I think about you

Because you don’t deserve to have somebody think about you

I feel so stupid because I let myself down

I acted like a motherfucking clown

At a circus on the outskirts of town

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

You don’t have to pretend to care

You don’t have to say things that you don’t mean

It just embarrasses me because you think you’re so fucking cool.
