Playing Pretend Lyrics by Yej

2019

[Verse 1]
I didn't know how I'd be feeling
It's time to see, yeah yeah, it's time to see, yeah yeah
You came to me telling sweet nothings
It's bound to break somehow, I knew it
Ended things because of you

[Chorus]
You were the one, the only one
But when it got too slow, you start to run
You were my love, my only love
But all good things come to an end
Can't love you by playing pretend

[Verse 2]
You stabbed my heart to keep on beating
You didn't mean it, you didn't mean it
But you abandoned me for her
I should've have seen the signs that told me
Every single day and night

[Chorus]
You were the one, the only one
But when it got too slow, you start to run
You were my love, my only love
But all good things come to an end
Can't love you by playing pretend

[Bridge]
But when I promised to my heart
To always hide it from the start
I didn't know that I would fall this hard, no no
And I give everything to you
I was just something that you could use
Never thought that I would cry for you, you, you, you, you
No no no no no, no no no, no no no no no no
No no no no no, no no no, no no no no no

[Chorus]
You were the one, the only one
But when it got too slow, you start to run
You were my love, my only love
But all good things come to an end
Can't love you by playing pretend

"That felt better. Yeah, for sure."
"Really? Okay, cool."
"Did you press record?"
"Oh, I hope so."
