Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 'Cause I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me You wait, I wait, casting shadows,

Can't you see that it's just rainin' We could pretend it all the time There ain't no need to go outside You hardly even notice When I try to show you this Song is meant to keep you Wakin' up too early Maybe we could sleep in

(I got a Public Pretender, tryin' to make me a winner) (Nigga please don't surrender, they'll have you for dinner) Now that's how this shit go! And I know you don't like me spittin' in your motherfuckin' face But ain't a motherfuckin' thing, you can do,

Every time you try to leave me blind, You'll never close my eyes, Why don't we end this lie, I can't pretend this time, I need a friend to find my broken mind, Before it falls to pieces!! You'll never close my eyes and watch me die!! You said you'd never

I'm supposed to stop, but I can't I sip way too much drank I don't think I can think I won't try to tell lies This blunt got me too high 'Cause you and I are just friends So I won't try to pretend 'Cause you and I just friends I won't try to pretend

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down You can tell me to move and I won't go You can tell me to try and I won't go (Go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go) If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it? And if I try to pretend that I don't hear

I felt it all, just like a cannonball You know I can't stand no more You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused You let me down, with all your runnin' round Still you pretend and try to call me friend Don't say

Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy) Out of the zone I guess I'll go home Try to be sane Try to pretend None of it happened Lonely old me Whoops-a-daisy I thought I was happy

And you get what you deserve I don't wanna be king I just wanna sing a love song Pretend there's nothing wrong You can sing along with me I don't wanna be queen Just trying to keep my t-shirt clean There's one thing I have learned If it gets much better

We could've been It could've been right but I was wrong Only think 'bout you when I'm alone And we try to pretend Every now and again We don't dream about, don't think about what Though I'm holding again 'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think
