Lyrics Still Pretending - Tift Merritt

I hear you coming up the driveway.
I tie a ribbon in my hair.
Look who′s come to see me.
Funny, you always end up here.

But it's still pretending.
And it′s still wrong.
And I still can't tell my heart
Why I'm still alone.

Well I guess I′m supposed to lock you out.
Well I guess I′m supposed to play it tough.
But I see how you look at me --
Baby, it always is enough.

But it's still pretending.
And it′s still wrong.
And I still can't tell my heart
Why I′m still alone.

Barefoot in the kitchen laughing,
Till you leave, when I'll be crying
Inside the door I close behind you,
Wishing you would stay.

But we′re still pretending.
And we're still wrong.
And I still can't tell my heart
Why I′m still alone.

Oh tell my why, I′m still alone.
Oh, why I'm still alone.
