Pretend

And I just wanna feel
Like all I know is real
But time just slips away
And the memories remain
I don’t wanna know
How far it is to go
And where it all will end
Cause life takes sudden bends
And I don’t wanna feel this broken piece of me
Open up my eyes teach me how to see
The things that I don’t know, the pain I never show
That’s buried deep in me
Alive but never free
Alive but never free
When I start to doubt that love’s what life’s about
I may need a helping hand
Someone that understands
The way that madness goes
The way that evil grows
Inside the hearts and minds
Of everyone I know
When I cease to breathe
When I start to go
Take me back in time
And give me what I’m owed
And I don’t wanna feel
Like this when I’m old
How do we let go
Of the things that we can’t hold?
In our hands
Bound by confusion
Once again
And I will overcome this
In the end
Until the dream comes to life
Pretend
When it’s my time to leave when heaven calls for me
I hope I found my way in this war inside of me
And only god will know
How far I have to go
And where my journey ends
And returns me to the sands
Of time that bury me for all eternity
As I shut my eyes
Now I finally see
The dreams that I behold
Were always in my soul
Now that we’ve let go of the things that we can’t hold
In the end
The dream comes to life
We ascend
And I have overcome this struggle within
Until the dream comes to life
Pretend
You’re free
Ohhhh, Ohhhh
