He'll beat your ass for lying

And he calls himself a man

He shows you that he loves you

With the backside of his hand

You always call me crying

Swearing that you'll leave

Baby girl, you're just my make believe.

We met through beers and backroads

I was sleeping with your friend

Luckily for me she's a lightweight

And you were cool with one night stands

Our lives seemed to continue

For fifty-two weeks

Sometimes I wish it didn't happen

And this was all just make believe.

'cause it ain't fair to me and you

It ain't worth all the trouble we've been going through

To make believe that we will ever be more than we are right now

And his love won't stop your crying

And your tears won't stop me trying

To get over you.

Years went by and we kept in touch

Hanging on but not by much

'cause you fell for the pipeline and all its money

He'd promise you the moon and the stars

But you got shoes and diamond hearts

And this old heart's a runaway from lonely

That's why you call me.

And it ain't fair to me and you

It ain't worth all the trouble we been going through

To make believe that we will ever be more than we are right now

'cause love won't stop your crying

And your tears won't stop me trying

To get over you.

Fuck all this, I'm giving up

Don't call my phone when it gets tough

And if you do leave your reason after the beep

Why can't you see I'd be good to you?

If I can't have whole, then half will do

I'll be at your house in 20 minutes

Yeah...

'cause it ain't fair to me and you

It ain't worth all the trouble we been going through

To make believe that we will ever be more than we are right now

'cause love won't stop your crying

And your tears won't stop me trying

To get over you...

To get over you...

Yeah...

You're finally back into my arms

And I'll pray you never leave

Prove me wrong and make me know that you're not my make believe.
