I heard another voice this morning on the 'phone
But just the other day I thought you said you slept alone
And yes I knew that laughter, okay, now i see
You wouldn't even know him if it hadn't been for me
Sometimes in the fading light

I can't help thinking back to, well, the way we were
Then I start feeling guilty lying next to her
I know, and it can't be right

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away
Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away

If you write again perhaps you shouldn't send it here
It's just that I don't really want your letters to appear
Oh no, I just think she might

Forget I ever said that I'm just being scared
I told her all about you and I don't think she even cared
I know but it's not alright

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away
Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away

And does the thought of leaving him brings you to tears?
I bet you never felt the same about me all those years
Well you know, just what it's like

Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away
Pretending that it's you. You still won't go away
