Pretending to live

Pretend you are taking me to bed and I'll pretend I am going

Pretend you love me and I'll pretend I believe it

Just pretend, I'm too tired for reality

Emotionless

"Sex is never just sex. Even if it is a hit and run. It takes a lot of emotion to make sex emotionless"

Dreams

"You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging

Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things
Looks like the lovers are losing"

The lovers are losing

Keane (2008)
