Blues Traveler - Some Things I Will Not Pretend lyrics

In an act of desperation she tried to play the game And finalize the deal, now they would never be the same He wondered if inside him, he should have hidden what was real Couldn't learn to live without it, how was it supposed to feel Her voice then broke the silence saying soon they'd both forget Then another silence, then he said without regret I will not be afraid Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend Sometimes it's better just to let them end Pain is your foe unless you make it your friend And some things, some things i will not pretend In a decision made in haste, he quickly said good bye To a world he couldn't get through, but a world well worth a try It is a lesser road now traveled, took him away from what he knew And as his words became reality, he wondered what to do But for reasons beyond his reckoning, he was so free from fear And i wondered who was speaking as i listen to him here I will not be afraid Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend Sometimes it's better just to let them end Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend And some things, some things i will not pretend Felix lost his magic bag of tricks For how else is a kitty cat gonna get his kicks He tried believing that he knew where his magic bag was at He tried believing in the beat up black felt top hat He knew the show was bad, and the trick was a lie But he didn't want to tell them, because they thought that he might cry He could be inside a bottle or a camouflage vest But the world is just a pillow, and we all need a rest But don't forget that when you and your dreams have survived Remembrance is the pain that keeps those things alive And he woke up the next morning and it was all swept away I bet i'd know what felix would say He'd say I will not be afraid Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend Sometimes it's better just to let them end Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend And some things, some things i will not pretend
