​play pretend Lyrics by ​margø

cool on the internet

2022

[Verse 1]
No sleep, at it all night
My stupid ring light is burning my eyes and
I've been running my lines like five hundred times
So you think that it's my first try

[Pre-Chours]
Watch me lose my mind
I die with every swipe
I'm fading
I hope it's entertaining
(I hope it's entertaining)

[Chorus]
Even though we play pretend
We're all liars in the end
Paint my life for my fake friends
I get high on the attention
Even though I play the part
This is way too fucking far
I don't let the screen go dark
I can't lie to my reflection

[Drop]
I can't lie to my reflection

[Verse 2]
No sleep, been at it all week
I can't find the time to shower or eat
I'm such a mess behind the scenes
Those are the parts that you'll never see

[Pre-Chours]
Watch me lose my mind
I die with every swipe
I'm fading
I hope it's entertaining
(I hope it's entertaining)

[Chorus]
Even though we play pretend
We're all liars in the end
Paint my life for my fake friends
I get high on the attention
Even though I play the part
This is way too fucking far
I don't let the screen go dark
I can't lie to my reflection

[Drop]
I can't lie to my reflection
I can't lie to my reflection

[Outro]
Even though I play the part
This is way too fucking far
I don't let the screen go dark
I can't lie to my reflection
