Pretend |
| Once in a while, I act like a child to feel like a kid again |
| It gets like a prison in the body I’m living in |
| 'Cause everyone’s watching and quick to start talking |
| I’m losing my innocence |
| Wish I were a little girl, without the weight of the world |
| It would be nice to start over again |
| Before we were men |
| I’d give, I’d bend |
| Let’s play pretend |
| Remember the time we had 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 |
| We had water in guns |
| And a place we could call our own |
| How we lost hold of home, I guess I’ll never know |
| 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 will make sense |
| We’ll love, we’ll 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 will make sense |
| We’ll love, we’ll bend |
| Let’s play pretend |
