Straight out of some story
You walk in in all your glory
I thought you were perfect for me
I was out of my mind

Looked like I was winning,
It was the best love I'd ever been in
Just when we were beginning, The End, you left me behind
And I was looking forward to a happy ending,
So much for pretending

I should have known better,
Than to think of happy-ever-after,
You and me together,
I was out of my league

I kept my heart hidden,
Now I'm wishin' that I didn't
Oh, who am I kidding?
You weren't even intrigued
And I was looking forward to a happy ending,
So much for pretending

It could've been beautiful,
If I'd only met ya,
If I'd only let you know
What you meant to me
And if I could, I would,
Give you a demonstration
Of how my imagination
Thought it ought to be
So much for pretending

Oooooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah

Pretending, pretending, pretending
So much for pretending
