I can't understand why the touch of her hand on my cheek
Leaves me feeling so weak and uneasy I know
She pulls her hair back the same way I've seen you do
I've had enough, my recovery's tough
And I'm not out here lookin’ to start up with someone new
So in the end just before I surrender, I’ll make believe that she’s you

Beautiful faces I’ve seen in these places
Can make your heart heavy and sad with a drink or two
I don’t need that yet, I’ve got a sea of regret to go through
She sits here waiting, and I’m still debating
There’s a cold night ahead we’d be helping each other through
So in the end just before I surrender, I’ll make believe that she’s you

I’ll make believe that I’m kissing the lips that are gone
Truth is I’m having trouble just carrying on

Solo

I’ll make believe that I’m kissing the lips that are gone
Truth is I’m having trouble just carrying on

She sits here waiting, and I’m still debating
There’s a cold night ahead we’d be helping each other through
So in the end just before I surrender, I’ll make believe that she’s you
And so in the end just before I surrender, I’ll make believe that she’s you
