While I held you with our undry eyes   Happy years pass by   It's OK to cry      After all   In the end   Just pretend      Well it's sticks and stones   and broken homes   that taught us how to smile      After all   In the end   Just pretend      There's a name that plays in my head   like a song   all day long   she's with me every day      After all   In the end   Just pretend      Everyone needs   Everyone needs   Everyone needs      If the sun can't shine   you'll be just fine   look into your mind   where you're free      After all   In the end   Just pretend      Cause we heard each other   once before   lets not do that again      After all   In the end   Just pretend      And a voice so familiar   wakes me up in the middle   if she thinks I'm having a bad dream      After all   In the end   Just pretend      Everyone needs   Everyone needs   Everyone needs      After all   It's the end
