I just pretend to wear shoes

And when my feet hurt

I pretend they don’t

Someone needs to get a hold of me

Before I get a hold of myself 

I pretend that I don’t know you

Just so you can be yourself 

I pretend not to look at you

So you can kid yourself 

And your red flags flying

Someone needs to get a hold of you too

Before you ruin yourself 

My flag flies white

I give up

I’m looking right into your eyes

Do you give up too

I’m only pretending to wear these shoes

I don’t own any
