You got me feeling so insecure
The way you make me pretend
(I'll play pretend)
Don't make it certain
You know I'm sure
I wanted more than a friend
Spinning like a record
Delusion's a drug
And I'm on it
I need you to need me
The same way I need you
It kills me to stay
But it hurts more to lose you
I'll lie to myself, just for now
Oh
'Cause when the sunlight fades away
I fall to pieces as I lie awake
Why can't you see that I'm still here
I'll play pretend 'cause I need you to stay
(I'll play pretend)
Congratulations, you found the one
I'm glad that you're doing well
(I'll play pretend)
Why can't I see that I'm just someone?
Don't wanna wake up just yet
Spinning like a record
Delusion's a drug
And I'm on it
I need you to need me
The same way I need you
It kills me to stay
But it hurts more to lose you
I'll lie to myself, just for now
Oh
'Cause when the sunlight fades away
I fall to pieces as I lie awake
Why can't you see that I'm still here
I'll play pretend 'cause I need you to stay
(I'll play pretend)
No, don't you break my heart in two
Holding onto maybes
Someday you won't be
Pretending to love me
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love with you
'Cause when the sunlight fades away
I fall to pieces as I lie awake
Why can't you see that I'm still here
I'll play pretend 'cause I need you to stay
(I'll play pretend)
Don't try to be so nice to me
Burning all your photos
Wish I could hate you
It kills me to love you
I've fallen in love
You've broken my heart in two
'Cause when the sunlight fades away
I fall to pieces as I lie awake
Why can't you see that I'm still here
I'll play pretend 'cause I need you to stay
(I'll play pretend)
Don't try to be so nice to me
Burning all your photos
Wish I could hate you
It kills me to love you
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love with you
