Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Be like me telling you that the sun doesn't shine
Every time that it rains
And that the moon doesn't come out at night
Till the sun comes back again
And like me telling you
That a cowboy has never rode across the plains
Is about the same as me telling you
That my heart's not filled with pain
[Verse 2]
So maybe I should just pretend that you never touched my hand
Then maybe I wouldn't feel like there's no reason to live again
Maybe I shouldn't have turned around
Drove this car back across town
Knowing that I'm the one thing you don't want to see
It would all make sense if I could pretend
That you never loved me
Oh, you never loved me
[Verse 3]
Be like me telling you that the desert isn't covered in sand
And the way I feel in my heart
For you fit into God's plan
Like me telling you that the star down in Texas
Ain't standing alone
And the four walls of this empty house
Make me feel right at home
[Verse 4]
So maybe I should just pretend that you never touched my hand
And then maybe I wouldn't feel like there's no reason to live again
Maybe I shouldn't have turned around
Drove this car back across town
Knowing that I'm the one thing you don't want to see
It would all make sense if I could pretend
That you never loved me
Oh, you never loved me
[Verse 5]
Be like me telling you that I'm not the kind
To ever make-believe
But when I opened my eyes this morning
You were still there lying right next to me
[Verse 6]
Maybe I should just pretend
That you never touched my hand
Then maybe I wouldn't feel like there's no reason to live again
Maybe I shouldn't have turned around
Drove this car back across town
Knowing that I'm the one thing you don't want to see
It would all make sense if I could pretend
That you never loved me, yeah
That you never loved me
I wish you never loved me, yeah
