Remember walking hand in hand side by side 
 We walked the dogs and took long strolls to the park 
 Except we never had dogs 
 And never went to the park 
    Remember how we used to fuck all night long 
 Neither do I because I always passed out 
 I needed lots of the booze 
 To handle the pain   
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 It just embarrasses me 
 And makes you look like a fool   
 Remember when the tenderness stopped 
 And the kindness turned to pity and disgust 
 And the smiles were stopped 
 Before they could start   
 And understanding was now just a tool 
 We used it every chance we got to be cruel 
 And we crinched because 
 We couldn't make ourselves stop   
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 It just embarrasses me 
 And makes you look like a fool   
 There are days when I think about you 
 And on those days I really feel like a fool 
 Because you don't deserve 
 To have somebody think about you   
 I feel so stupid cause I let myself down 
 I acted like a motherfucking clown 
 At a circus 
 On the outskirts sometimes   
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 You don't have to pretend to care 
 You don't have to say things that you don't mean 
 It just embarrasses me 
 Because you think you're so cool
