make believe

(album: finding it hard to smile - 2018)

Talking to yourself, you'll make believe
Filling up a void eight days a week
Wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you

At the diner
You looked finer than a set of china that my mama don't use
I looked helpless, you looked selfish
But you liked Elvis so I thought you were cool

I like honesty and self respect
But you spell rent "P-A-R-E-N-T-S"

Talking to yourself, you'll make believe
Filling up a void eight days a week
Wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you
We could make some plans, tell me you're free
Aren't you getting tired of woe is me
Trying to get to know you
Trying to get to know you

Always talking, so deflated
You make plans but you never come through
You say you're busy, but you miss me
I'll here waiting around like a fool

I've got patience and persistance
You spell love "F-R-I-E-N-D-S"

Talking to yourself, you'll make believe
Filling up a void eight days a week
Wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you
We could make some plans, tell me you're free
Aren't you getting tired of woe is me
Trying to get to know you
Trying to get to know you

Girl, you know I'd give the world to you
But you can't even open up to me
Played my part on your TV screen
Your made up movie, make believe
All I wanted was to see what happened
And you're still

Talking to yourself, you'll make believe
Filling up a void eight days a week
Wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you
We could make some plans, tell me you're free
Aren't you getting tired of woe is me
Trying to get to know you
Trying to get to know you
