Waking up and no one"s home
I don"t believe it
I turn my television on
So I don"t feel alone
I"m talking to my dog
Because she can understand me
And just to hear a human voice
Inside these walls
I do these tricks as a day routine
To ease the pain, to not feel a thing
I do my act like I"m born for this
I do my best to hide my tears
...every day I"m pretending
That I don"t miss you at all
That I don"t miss spending nights underneath your armpit
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy
And that I don"t miss your kiss
...it"s as simple as this
I"m walking slowly
So you won"t know the weight I"m wearing
And I don"t show my face
To reveal the pain I"m bearing with
And I rarely call my friends
It"s kind of a sixth sense
Because they will see my hollow soul
And see through my defense
I do these tricks as a day routine
To ease the pain, to not feel a thing
I do my act like I"m born for this
I do my best to hide my tears
...every day I"m pretending
That I don"t miss you at all
That I don"t miss spending nights underneath your armpit
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy
And that I don"t miss your kiss
...it"s as simple as this
Pretending that I just don"t see you
When I close my eyes
Pretending that I just don"t hear your voice
When no one is around
Pretending that I don"t remember
The smell of your skin
And every day I am pretending
That I"m not praying
That I don"t miss you at all
That I don"t miss spending nights underneath your armpit
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy
And that I don"t miss your kiss
...it"s as simple as this
I don"t believe it
I turn my television on
So I don"t feel alone
I"m talking to my dog
Because she can understand me
And just to hear a human voice
Inside these walls
I do these tricks as a day routine
To ease the pain, to not feel a thing
I do my act like I"m born for this
I do my best to hide my tears
...every day I"m pretending

That I don"t miss spending nights underneath your armpit
