Play Pretend

I fell off of the sun and landed upon a planet I did not recognize
When I hit the ground, all that I found was something familiar in your eyes
You start out as a blessing and morph into a curse
The truth is depressing, but this illusion is worse

I don’t wanna be your lover
You don’t wanna be my friend
We’re no good for one another
But hey babe, wanna play pretend?

Now I stare at the moon and wonder how I soon I can escape into the sky
As I’m looking up, I’m ready to jump, not sure if I will fall or fly
The storm clouds are moving around on its own
My dread is improving but the bar is low

The stars still whisper my name if only to say how I have disappointed them
While I’m on the Earth, I’m not even worth the breath it would take ‘em to condemn
That I am not chasing the life that I should
I wanted amazing, but then I settled for good
