I can try my best to smile
But you know it’s a fake
And you extend your hand
Propose an offer I can’t refuse
But it’s one I won’t take
And I know perfectly well your intentions are good
But still I know that there’s a catch
And you can tell me all you’d like how you’re convinced it’s love
But I’m convinced that that’s a stretch
It’s always been a stretch
And we’ve been through this once before
But I knew you’d forget
And I can tell myself
It’s a fleeting feeling, it’ll leave me soon
But that’s not happened yet
And I know perfectly well your intentions are good
But still I know that there’s a catch
And you can tell me all you’d like how you’re convinced it’s love
But I’m convinced that that’s a stretch
I can try my best to smile
But you know it’s a fake
