Pretend by Ginger

I hear your voice as it calls out to me
But there's a static in the air
I see your glow when you're in front of me
But it's not like you're really there

Though many hours of conversation fly
A frigid feeling starts to creep
What do I have if this connection dies
I'm left alone behind a screen

No matter how much I use it
How I improve it
It's all just a trick in the end
Although I hear what you're saying
Through speakers playing
Your presence is all pretend

I chase Illusions every night, it seems
It helps to get me through the day
Through dodgy internet, you speak to me
Our distance starts to blur away

But when the moment starts to break apart
That frigid feeling will surround
And when it's over and the screen goes dark
It's clear that nobody's around

No matter how much I use it
How I improve it
It's all just a trick in the end
Although I hear what you're saying
Through speakers playing
Your presence is all pretend

Not for a second I'd blame you
We're here to get through
Similar troubles each day
I just need something to be real
Something I can feel
No screens or wires in the way

No matter how much I use it
How I improve it
It's all just a trick in the end
Although I hear what you're saying
Through speakers playing
Your presence is all pretend

Not for a second I'd blame you
We're here to get through
Similar troubles each day
I just need something to be real
Something I can feel
No screens or wires in the way
