PRETEND

(album: THE RECOVERY PROJECT - 2021)

I need a distraction
To break off your connection
Yet I want your attention
I need a distraction from you, baby
All my friends think I'm crazy
And maybe they make a good point but I
Play pretend knowing fully that you can
Just tear my heart up again

I can't seem to just say no
And I said I'd be smart
But you play with my heart
Boy you keep hitting on my phone
And I fall every time
I just can't seem to hide

I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules

I'm just getting over
And my heart gains some closure
But you keep walking into my life
Every time I return and I
Run back to you closer

All my friends think I'm crazy
And maybe they make a good point but I
Play pretend knowing fully that you can
Just tear my heart up again

I can't seem to just say no
And I said I'd be smart
But you play with my heart
Boy you keep hitting on my phone
And I fall every time
I just can't seem to hide

I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules
I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules
