Play Pretend(Lyrics)

Her parents start to yell again
She rolls her eyes not listening
They have no idea what she's been doing
No idea what she's been losing
So intense, her mind bends
Erasing all the wrong she's done
Her two lives blend
No telling who she is
And who she was
She's meaning to leave them both behind
Escape from
What's not
Her imagination


You can't quit
For real yet
Just close your eyes and play pretend
A lonely place, a fall from grace
Just fade away and play pretend
We've lost it
But we can
Regain ourselves if we could close our eyes
And try
To play
Pretend


His friends are looking up to him
He fakes a smile, they buy right in
They have no idea what he's been running from
No idea what he has become
In defense, his mind bends
Erasing all the wrong he's done
His two lives blend
No telling who he is
Or who he was
He's meaning to leave them all behind
Escape from
What's not
His imagination


You can't quit
For real yet
Just close your eyes and play pretend
A lonely place, a fall from grace
Just fade away and play pretend
We've lost it
But we can
Regain ourselves if we could close our eyes
And try
To play
Pretend...Pretend....Pretend...


Close your eyes
Don't you let it in
The light's to bright to be living in
Open your mind
Don't you fake a thing
They made you hide who you've always been
So you can't...


You can't quit
For real yet
Just close your eyes and play pretend
A lonely place, a fall from grace
Just fade away and play pretend
We've lost it
But we can
Regain ourselves if we could close our eyes
And try
To play
Pretend
