Pretend

Once in a while I act like a child

To feel like a kid again

It feels like a prison

In the body you're living in

Because everyone's watching

Greedy to start talking

I'm losing my innocence

Wish I weren't a little girl

Who felt the weight of the world

It would be nice to start over again

Before we burn out

I'd give i breath

Let's play pretend

Remember the times

It's soda for wine

And got by on gratitude

The worst they could do to you

Was check your attitude

Yeah when fights were for fun

You water in guns

And a place we could call our own

How we lost hold of that

I guess I'll never know

It would be nice to start over again

Before we warming

I'd give i breath

Let's play pretend

And when it's the end

Our lives will make sense

And love move bend

Let's play pretend

It's not going to be long

Before we're all gone

With nothing to show for them

Stop taking lives Come on

Let's all grow up again

It would be nice

To start over again

Before we were men

I'd give I'd bend

Let's play pretend

And when it's the end

Our lives

Our lives will make sense

And love even

Let's play pretend
