Pretending

Sorry you can't be
What I need for me
Ain't worried in the
Slightest

Damn...
Was I supposed to be?

If I thought...
This would
inevitably
Be a
Happy ending...

I'd be pretending (x3)

Open arms
And open doors
Passageways
And trapped back doors

I've arrived
Fell
Through
The floor

Mesmerized
But what's in store?
They came for me
Now

They're
Comin (x2)
Back for more (x2)

Lay down
And play dead
Play pretend (x2)

Who said this
Who said that
Where's the key
I think trapped...

They want
Some more
Smile on my face
I've weathered
I've endured

Internally
I'm unsure
Authentic
To the
Core

Confidence
Has been torn
Fuck
What they said-
I'll play pretend x2

Fakin it
I'm makin it
Ever heard of
Takin it

Follow me
All the way up
Cause
I'm breakin in...

Act like-
We belong
I'll get on stage
I'll sing my song

Hear me out
I'm holdin on
I'm in and out
It's been so long...

Aint invited
But- I'll be attending (x2)
Ill be pretending (x3)

Mouse trap
Final act
Who said this
And
Who said that

Pull around
The Cadillac
Take me out
Slip out the back

Never
Gonna fight
For me

Illuminated
Masterpiece
Givin me the
Third degree

I speak in tongues
Assertively

Burning
My sincerity
They-
Ain't here (x2)
For me

I see
What I sweat
And bleed
Is just another
Offering-

I'll play pretend
Until the end

I'll play pretend

I'm afraid
What you're
Givin me

Won't ever
Be enough
For me

It's rough to see
Disparity
You expel
On me

You take but,
You ain't
Givin me

What I need
Not
What I need

Lay down and play
Dead
Play pretend (x2)

If I thought this
Would inevitably
Be a
Happy ending...

I'd be pretending (x3)

Open arms
And open doors
Passageways
And trapped back doors

I've arrived
Fell
Through
The floor

Mesmerized
But, what's in store?
They came for me
Now
They're
Comin (x2)
Back
for more... (x2)

Lay down
And play dead
And
Play pretend (x2)

I'll be pretending
Like it's my happy ending...

Future pending
Mind is bending
Is this what you been
Intending

Uprooted &
Upending
Now I'm transcending
I'm ascending
Apprehending
Look at me
Now

(More)

No more pretending

No more
Pretending
