so much for pretending lyrics

Straight out of some story
You walked in and 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
And now I'm wishing 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 have been beautiful
If I'd only met you
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

Ooh, yeah yeah
Pretending, pretending
So much for pretending
