[Chorus:] 
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with  
Can we fake the life you know I should have had  
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care  
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else  
 
You seem to have an important part  
The lead role of my heart  
You played it well along time ago  
Until I started falling in love  
And then you changed your character  
And avoided all of your lines  
Now the man I love is gone now  
Can you play his part at this time  
 
[Chorus] 
 
Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work  
I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work  
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong  
So I'll find someone who loves me  
And who can play your part for life  
 
I deserve a lot better than this  
And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love  
And receive nothing back in return  
 
[Chorus]
