In the End

Take me back into that daydream
Where it seemed that maybe
You and I would be free
Then you seemed so free formed
Now you've opened a new door
Don't even want this letter telling you I'm getting better

And I know, I've been tripping on all my words
And I know, You're not the you that you said you were
Just take one chance and play pretend
You can lie and tell me that you'll miss me in the end

In the end, we were all just playing pretend
In the end, go on and tell all my friends
That I was too drunk to drive and that you weren't sober
We spent the night but now it's over
Brought into light, yeah, you can't cover up
What you felt that night

High tide pulls down the sunlight
Bringing us back to the night
Maybe you'll start to change your mind
As the memory jogs behind
Chasing after your heart unwinding
Stretching and pulling apart at the seems
Can't cover up what hides beneath

And I know, I've been fighting through every verse
And I know, no line can calm your nerves
Just take one chance and play pretend
You can lie and tell me that you'll miss me in the end

In the end, we were all just playing pretend
In the end, go on and tell all my friends
That I was too drunk to drive and that you weren't sober
We spent the night but now it's over
Brought into light, yeah, you can't cover up
What you felt

In the end, we were all just playing pretend
In the end, go on and tell all my friends
That I was too drunk to drive and that you weren't sober
We spent the night but now it's over
Brought into light, yeah, you can't cover up
What you felt that night
