Pretending

You're not all right, of course you're not. Any idiot can see that. Problem is, I don't know what to do about it. Alien or not, sometimes you're just like any other stupid bloke – no matte how badly you need a good cry or a hug or whatever's gonna help you cope, you can't just ask.

You'll stand there pretending to be all right until I stop asking, I know you will.

So we'll both stand here, and we'll both pretend to be all right, and that's fine. Cause maybe just knowing we're both pretending – well, maybe it's a start.
