Playing Pretend

(album: No More Hope For The Hopeless - 2022)

You walk around like you're so innocent
Been in my bed and they don't know the half of it
But I guess the character sells
Guess the devil wears a halo well

Put on a masterclass the way you act
'Cause nothing ever adds up til the aftermath
And it's a goddamn shame you'll lose this game in the end
There's only so long you can play pretend
There's only so long (Yeah)
There's only so long (Yeah)
There's only so long you can play pretend (Yeah)
There's only so long (Only so long)
There's only so long
There's only so long you can play pretend

Do you think that you're a genius?
That no one sees behind your secrets?
Using hearts to your convenience
Can't wait to see what karma teaches
Lighting me up, letting me down
The queen of disaster and you're wearing the crown
Letting you go, I'm letting you win
A matter of time before you do it again

Put on a masterclass the way you act
'Cause nothing ever adds up til the aftermath
And it's a goddamn shame you'll lose this game in the end
There's only so long you can play pretend
There's only so long (Yeah)
There's only so long (Yeah)
There's only so long you can play pretend (Yeah)
There's only so long (Only so long)
There's only so long
There's only so long you can play pretend

Put on a masterclass the way you act
'Cause nothing ever adds up til the aftermath
And it's a goddamn shame you'll lose this game in the end
There's only so long you can play pretend
