I’m Going To Stop Pretending

by Grateful Dead

I'm gonna tell you
What you need to hear
I'm a little too late
'Bout three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart
You see I never thought enough of myself
To realize
That losing me could mean something
Like the tears in your eyes
I wanna tell you I'm sorry
It's too late to start
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart
It's Christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing I'd treated you better
When you were mine
And I have no way of knowing
Where you are
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what I was doing
But I know what I've done
