Close Enough to be Fooled

If I could just shut up for a minute,
I'd see through this whole facade,
I talk too much and I'm such a bore,
If I thought for a moment, I'd surely see,
You're faking those smiles,
Your kisses aren't real,
You just haven't found what you're after,
So you'll stick around with me,
While you pass the time.

I think I'm a wonder drug to you,
I keep you high while you're feeling low,
My words are so sweet and warm,
I'm willing to give you what you want,
My smiles want too much,
My kisses are true,
I haven't found what I'm after,
But I'm such a pretender,
It's hard to tell.

These fleeting glances have all gone,
There's nothing real left to say,
You don't love me, you never will,
I'm just out to feel the thrill,
But we'll smile like it's right,
And we'll kiss to be vain,
Never quite getting what we wanted,
Never really wanting,
It at all.
