This song arose from me trying to cope for the first few months after my brother died in an accident ... I found just pretending sometimes it didn't happen was the only way to get thru the day.

V1
Well hello mornin'
And hello clock
Tellin’ me to get up
Hardly slept at all
Gotta hit the shower
Put my best face on
Try to make it thru another day
Like you'll be here when I get home
CH
How long have I
Gotta keep this act up
How long's forever
How long is long enough
I can't face the pain
It ain't playing games, it's strong
Its waiting to get me
So I pretend you're not gone
V2
Got on that old blue
T-shirt you liked
It's gettin' worn out
But I don't care tonight
I'm just trying
To keep on hangin on
To every thing we ever had
'Fore my heart starts catchin' on
CH
How long have I
Gotta keep this act up
How long's forever
How long is long enough
I can't face the pain
It ain't playing games, it's strong
It's waiting to get me
So I pretend you're not gone
Bridge
In here drinking our drink
At our favorite spot
People acting like I'm here alone
Oh but we both know I'm not
CH
How long have I
Gotta keep this act up
How long's forever
How long is long enough
I can't face the pain
It ain't playing games, it's strong
It's waiting to get me
So I pretend you're not gone
TAG
I can't face the pain
It ain't playing games, it's strong
It's waiting to get me
So I pretend you're not gone
………..
You're not gone
