Play Pretend

I didn't feel alive, she said
 I keep falling to the floor
 When do I get to see the world
 I've been fighting all these battles for?
 Just because I can sing
 Doesn't mean that I can feel
 All my demons, all my everything
 Aren't any less real
 She said
 Let's play pretend and live our lives
 We can be who we wanna be
 I'll be a singer and you'll be a writer
 We'll finally be free
 If we're lucky, we'll live together forever
 And you'll never have to be
 Alone in this world full of bullshit and terror
 Without me
 But
 Playing pretend isn't always happy
 We care but pretend we don't
 If I was a singer, I'd sing to the world
 About what hurts me the most
 If you were a writer, you could write me a story
 And leave out all my regrets
 A life full of passion, a life full of glory
 I would never have to be down
 She said
