Play Pretend

(album: Homemade - 2023)

Back when we were simple young
Always chasing for the sun
We were the two best of buds

Then adolescence came by my way and
Love was rushing right through my veins
Every time I saw her

And I fell down
Wasting my thoughts
On what ifs and hows
Why now

She don't make this thing easy
My hopes are filled to the brim
But I know she'll never see me as
Anything more than a friend
So I'll just keep playing pretend

I know I'm usually not one to brag
But I'm trynna fix what I lack
But she don't notice at all

I wanna be something more than friends
The pair with that happy end
But maybe this thing will all blow

So I'm falling down
Wasting my thoughts
On what ifs and hows
What now

She don't make this thing easy
My hopes are filled to the brim
But I know she'll never see me as
Anything more than a friend
So I'll just keep playing pretend

This thing was never easy
My hopes spilled over the brim
All I can say now is sorry
For bringing us to an end
I should've kept playing pretend
