Yeah, I can be a burden, baby, I can be a psycho
They call me a mistake and wrote me off like a typo
And life just keep on hitting me, I swear that Ima fight though
So hit me with your best shot, staring down the rifle
I been looking back, riding on my motorcycle
I remember nights when I was feeling suicidal
I was falling out, boy, dead on arrival
Couldnt see the signs, I was living in denial
Im on the edge
Youre in my head, so…
Tell me you need me even when you dont
I dont know when this will end this will end, this will end
You tell me youll stay now even if you wont
Baby, we can play pretend play pretend, play pretend
I guess that what Im saying is Im scared of going back
I remember every struggle, every panic attack
You saw the life inside my eyes fade away over time
I couldnt pick up a guitar, I couldnt think of a rhyme
I needed something to believe in, somewhere that I could hide
They told me I should start pretending, always kept it inside
And I was hoping these emotions were a lack of serotonin
Never thought that my own brain could ever turn to an opponent
Tell me you need me even when you dont
I dont know when this will end this will end, this will end
You tell me youll stay now even if you wont
Baby, we can play pretend play pretend, play pretend
Play pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
Pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
Are you okay? Tell me, are you okay?
Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown
Are you okay? Tell me, are you okay?
Tell me you need me even when you dont
I dont know when this will end this will end, this will end
Tell me youll stay now even if you wont
Baby, we can play pretend play pretend, play pretend
Are you okay? Tell me, are you okay?
Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown
Are you okay? Tell me, are you okay?
Baby, we can play pretend
