pretend Lyrics

I've played pretend

My whole life

I know what's make believe

I've played your games

I've learned your strife

I sit beneath

The willow trees

The sun it is shining

The grass it is green

It is beckoning warmth

Yet I follow your dreams

Your words

They're like venom

They're poison

They're weeds

Yet I know that I must

Follow your dreams

So I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

I've been quiet

My whole life

I've lived inside a dream

(Don't cry)

You're always yelling

Fighting

And I am listening

The sun it is shining

The grass it is green

It is beckoning warmth

Yet I'm stuck listening

Your words

They are empty

They're cold and diseased

So I've memorized

Your every need

I've learned how to cry so

Quietly they never know

I was listening

Learn how to cry

So quietly

Hold yourself up

As you fall

Learn how to cry

So quietly

Hold yourself up

As you fall

I'm sorry

So I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

So I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

I dance and I spin

And I just play pretend

And hopefully then

You will love me again

It's all your fucking fault

That everyone is gone

I'm so sick and tired

Of wanting to be loved
