play pretend Lyrics by ​juki

trances*

2024

[Verse 1]
I see the way you look at me tonight
An evening for the faint of heart I tried
To see your eyes light up in a different view
But I couldn’t overlook the shadows on my sights
Cause we were ten toes up, turned six feet down
And my heart still burns for you
(Oh my heart, oh my heart)
But you made the noose, and cut it up in two
And I lost my point of view
[Chorus]
Blow out the candlelight and say you’re mine
(Oh, oh)
I know you’re bluffing but it’s worth it just to try
Cause baby I just wanna say it’s fine
(Oh, oh)
We’ll play pretend until we make it real life
[Verse 2]
Yeah I don’t know what you want
Communication ain’t nothing more than promises it’s all just a front
Yeah I just can’t decipher your thoughts but I’ll try
(Yeah I’ll try, yeah I’ll try)
(Fuck)
(joshwa!)
And I do my lil dance
Waste all our plans
Feeling like shit my emotion be spent
You got me fucked if you think this would end
I ain’t tap in the ring, ay I said what said
Bitch I’m the man
Ain’t got no plan
I’ve been out late watching static
I can’t fuck with somebody who treat me like nothing
I’m feeling unstable but at least it's something
Because like I’m been tripping over all my laces I’m in place
But I can’t feel a single thing if you ain’t ridin in my lane
I ascend then I saw then you went then you called
And we’re up then we fall then we cycle through it all
Like huh
Take shots then we make amends
And last summer I was thinking we’d be more than friends
And I was thinking I’d be with you till we see the end
But now our fucked up shits just play pretend
Cause we were ten toes up, turned six feet down
And my heart still burns for you
(Oh my heart, oh my heart)
But you made the noose, and cut it up in two
And I lost my point of view
[Chorus]
Blow out the candlelight and say you’re mine
(Oh, oh)
I know you’re bluffing but it’s worth it just to try
Cause baby I just wanna say it’s fine
(Oh, oh)
We’ll play pretend until we make it real life
Blow out the candlelight and say you’re mine
(Oh, oh)
I know you’re bluffing but it’s worth it just to try
Cause baby I just wanna say it’s fine
(Oh, oh)
We’ll play pretend until we make it real life
