pretend

[Verse 1] Yeah, I can be a burden, baby, I can be a psycho They called me a mistake and wrote me off like a typo And life just keeps on hitting me, I swear that I'ma fight though So hit me with your best shot, staring down the rifle I been looking back, riding on my motorcycle I remember nights when I was feeling suicidal I was falling out, boy, dead on arrival Couldn't see the signs, I was living in denial, yeah [Pre-Chorus] I'm on the edge You're in my head, so [Chorus] Tell me you need me Even when you don't I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end) Tell me you'll stay now Even if you won't Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend) [Verse 2] I guess that what I'm saying is I'm scared of going back I remember every struggle, every panic attack You saw the life inside my eyes fade away over time I couldn't pick up a guitar I couldn't think of a rhyme I needed something to believe in Somewhere that I could hide They told me I should stop pretending Always kept it inside And I was hoping these emotions were a lack of serotonin Never thought that my own brain could ever turn to an opponent [Chorus] Tell me you need me Even when you don't I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end) Tell me you'll stay now Even if you won't Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend) [Bridge] Play pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend Pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend Are you okay, tell me, are you okay? Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown Are you okay, tell me, are you okay? [Chorus] Tell me you need me Even when you don't I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end) Tell me you'll stay now Even if you won't Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend) [Outro] Are you okay, tell me, are you okay? Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown Are you okay, tell me, are you okay? Baby, we can play pretend
