Waking up and no one’s home 
I don’t believe it 
I turn my television on 
So I don’t feel alone 

I’m talking to my dog 
Because she can understand me 
And just to hear a human voice 
Inside these walls 

I do these tricks as a day routine 
To ease the pain, to not feel a thing 
I do my act like I’m born for this 
I do my best to hide my tears 

…every day I’m pretending 
That I don’t miss you at all 
That I don’t miss spending nights underneath your armpit 
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy 
And that I don’t miss your kiss 
…it’s as simple as this 

I’m walking slowly 
So you won’t know the weight I’m wearing 
And I don’t show my face 
To reveal the pain I’m bearing with 

And I rarely call my friends 
It’s kind of a sixth sense 
Because they will see my hollow soul 
And see through my defense 

I do these tricks as a day routine 
To ease the pain, to not feel a thing 
I do my act like I’m born for this 
I do my best to hide my tears 

…every day I’m pretending 
That I don’t miss you at all 
That I don’t miss spending nights underneath your armpit 
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy 
And that I don’t miss your kiss 
…it’s as simple as this 

Pretending that I just don’t see you 
When I close my eyes 
Pretending that I just don’t hear your voice 
When no one is around 

Pretending that I don’t remember 
The smell of your skin 
And every day I am pretending 
That I’m not praying 

That I don’t miss you at all 
That I don’t miss spending nights underneath your armpit 
Like a little kid lying down besides his mommy 
And that I don’t miss your kiss 
…it’s as simple as this
