Lies Can't Pretend - No Use for a Name

It's too hard to begin when we know it will end And if you got a friend, better leave with him Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up I know that I need love, but I CAN'T PRETEND, I CAN'T PRETEND One day the moon will set for the last time Maybe we'll become part of a mountain We've always learned these things You know I'm not crying But you know I'm not trying to get It's too hard to begin when we know it will end And if you got a friend, better leave with him Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up I know that I need love, but I CAN'T PRETEND, I CAN'T PRETEND, I CAN'T PRETEND Remember when you first touched my hand We sparkled inside at the same time And now it doesn't even matter It's too hard to begin when we know it will end And if you got a friend, better leave with him Well if you only want us to dance, I can stand up I know that I need love, but I CAN'T PRETEND, I CAN'T PRETEND, I CAN'T PRETEND I see the sky, high on a mountain It's too hard to begin when we know it will end I see the sky, high on a mountain I see the sky, high on a mountain

Love, I have wounds, Only you can mend, You can mend. I guess that's love, I can't pretend, Can't pretend. Feel, my skin is rough, But it can be cleansed, Can be cleansed. And my arms are tough, But they can be bent, Can be bent. And I wanna fight, But I can't contend. I guess that's love, I can't pretend, Can't pretend. Oh feel our bodies grow, And our souls they blend. Yeah love I hope you know, How much my heart depends. But I guess that's love I can't pretend, I guess that's love I can't pretend. Oh feel our bodies grow, And our souls they blend. Yeah love I hope you know, How much my heart depends. I guess that's love I can't pretend, I guess that's love I can't pretend.

She was confused and abused in this life Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout drag out fight they ever had Apologies and dignity denied He starts to laugh He starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize her own face in the mirror Black and blue So afraid intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified Black Eye Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone Waiting for a call from him But it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his lies He goes to bed with no reply Tomorrow morning different story and he'll be a different guy He'll justify her black eye with another lie She pack's her bags in great temptation He's on his knees again he cries A hug and a kiss and I don't know why, as a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another justified black eye Justified Black Eye

Darling do you remember, the nights we sat on the bridge Darling do you remember, wishing one day we'd be rich I can still remember, when we lay in bed And I can still remember, the last thing we said We said Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth? it makes me wonder Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth even trying if you know you're gonna die? Is it worth dying for a name? We're still young and going, so we still have to learn All the things we want now, we think we have to earn When we grow old and lonely, and we're finally done We'll learn that nothing really matters, if you don't have someone And we said Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth? it makes me wonder Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth dying for a name? Is it worth even trying if you know you're gonna die? Is it worth dying for a name?
