I get up and nudge you
I pull the sheet up over you
I'm afraid you'll be cold
My hand strokes your hair
Almost in spite of myself
But you turn your back on me
So I get dressed really fast
I drink my coffee alone
Silently I leave the house
Everything's gray outside
I'm cold, I lift my collar
I'll play pretend
I'll go to bed alone
My tears, I'll hide them
I'll play pretend
