Some Things I Will Not Pretend Lyrics - Blues Traveler

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
