[Verse 1]
Can we pretend
That from now on
There is no yesterday
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
[Chorus]
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
That takes my feeling, wraps them around your need
But there's a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
[Verse 2]
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and gay
[Chorus]
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
That takes my feeling, wraps them around your need
But there's a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
[Outro]
Can we pretend? Can we pretend?
Can we pretend? Can we pretend?
