Let's Pretend that We Are Strangers

When I see
You again
Let's pretend that we are strangers

After all
We both know
Some will not accept behaviors

I have had to live a life with their view
Pervading all throughout my mind
Till you came and helped me to break through

When I see
You again
I promise I will work towards finding

I know you
Want me soon
It's hard so I don't need reminding

Who we are we can be on our own time
As soon as I can find the moment
I'll change and I'll move towards your side

But not now
Not yet
I'm not ready
To let it all go

Let's pretend that we are strangers
Let's pretend that we are strangers

When I see
What's at stake
I'm not ready to consider

With their world
And their eyes
Won't see us the way that we were

Some day I will stand with you in that place
And come what may
The world will then see us their together our embrace

But not now
Not yet
I'm not ready
To let it all go

You can drown yourself for a life time
Never finding the strength to face
Bring someone else into an arrangement
In hopes that it will erase

Let's pretend that we are strangers
Let's pretend that we are strangers

I won't see
You again
This is now our final meeting

I don't care
What I said
My confidence is fast retreating

Maybe you have come to face who you'll be
I still have a lot to lose
And can drown forever what's in me

Let's pretend that we are strangers
Let's pretend that we are strangers
