Testo di Play Pretend

Within the silence Where worlds are colliding What am I trying to hide A face in the mirror I cannot see clearer The years are passing me by Caught in the act of acting out What I think you see in me A scripted dance Trapped in the portrait I paint Day after day Lost in the echoes of a silent game I just play pretend Over and over again Can't find a way to myself Misery calls me home Over and over I‘m chasing approval By being someone I’m not A mask of perfection Distorted reflections Of my nature that I almost forgot Caught in the act of acting out What I think you see in me A scripted dance Trapped in the portrait I paint Day after day Lost in the echoes of a silent game I just play pretend Over and over again Can't find a way to myself Misery calls me home Hiding truth behind a faceless name Cause I’m the one to blame Playing a masquerade I just play pretend Over and over again Deep down I ache From being someone I'm not Its eating away at me I just play pretend Over and over again Can't find a way to myself Misery calls me home Hiding truth behind a faceless name Cause I’m the one to blame Playing a masquerade I just play pretend Over and over again I’m the one to blame The final act the curtains fall Wasted youth, revealing truth And as I fade The mask dissolves I feel the weight, forevermore
