Straight out of some story
You walked in, in 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 Id 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 Im wishing that I didnt
Oh who am I kidding
You werent even intrigued
And I was looking forward to a happy ending
So much for pretending
It could have been beautiful
If Id only met you
If Id 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, pretending… pretending
So much for pretending
