I Don't Want To Play Pretend (Single Version)

I Don't Want To Play Pretend - (Aka - Broken Kisses)

Lyrics and music by Ross Gordon Cambrin

South side of grace,

We came on like the great imposters.

I remember your taste.

Love and lies, silent partners.

I woke in a dream,

Where I ran to the Moon of Sorrows,

And I asked her to sing,

A silver song of red tomorrows.

Look in my eyes, for a child, of broken kisses.

Would you love me, when I say, “I don’t want to play pretend.”

Like a bird on a wire,

Or the girl in a latin story,

With descending desire.

Love and loss, pride and glory.

I woke from the dream,

As the moon sang her final chorus.

Then I same in the sea,

In the light of red tomorrows.

Behind the clouds, hides the stars, of borrowed wishes.

Could you love me, when I say, “I don’t want to play pretend.”

Look in my eyes, for a child, of broken kisses.

Would you love me, when I say, “I don’t want to play pretend.”

South side of grace,

And I walk from the Moon of Sorrows.

I remember your face,

In the light of blue tomorrows.

Behind the clouds, hides the stars, of borrowed wishes.

Could you love me, when I say, “I don’t want to play pretend.”

Look in my eyes, for a child, of broken kisses.

Would you love me, when I say, “I don’t want to play pretend.”
