Play Pretend

«I didn’t feel alive,» she said
I keep falling through the floor
When do I get to see the world
I’ve been fighting all these battles for?
Just because I can’t sing
Doesn’t mean that I can’t feel
All my demons, all my everything
Aren’t any less real
She said «Let's play pretend and live our lives»
We can be who we wanna be
I’ll be a singer and you’ll be a writer
We’ll finally be free
If we’re lucky, we’ll live together forever
And you’ll never have to be
Alone in this world full of bullshit and terror
Without me
But, playing pretend isn’t always happy
We care, we pretend we don’t
If I was a singer, I’d sing to the world
About what hurts me the most
If you were a writer, you could write me a story
And leave out all my regrets
A life full of passion, a life full of glory
It would never have to end
She said
