Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I´ll have to give the part to someone else

You seem to have an important part
The lead role of my heart
You played it well along time ago
Until I started falling in love
And then you changed your character
And avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone now
Can you play his part at this time

Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I´ll have to give the part to someone else

Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work
I´m working hard, I´m playing my part but the scene still won´t work
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
So I´ll find someone who loves me
And who can play your part for life

I deserve a lot better than this
And I´m tired of acting like it´s okay for me to give you my love
And receive nothing back in return

Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I´ll have to give the part to someone else
