Days like this I just wanna play pretend
I just dont feel like settlin
Sometimes it feels like everything runs against me
Like I’m chasing daylight but the night won’t leave
The silence feels so heavy I could fold under pressure
Tryna hold it together but I’m losin my measure
Like I hold in so much it’s buried in my chest
I can’t breathe easy, like I’m holding my breath
Every inhale feel borrowed, every exhale feel like debt
Like every road I pick got a price I gotta pay
When I talk, I really gotta watch what I say
Its like my brain dont function right, I’m always one step behind
Like I’m thinkin too late while the moment pass me by
Now I’m stuck inside my head and I can’t press rewind
Got a thousand voices talkin, I can’t quiet down my mind
And the louder that it get, the more I fall outta line
I feel relieved like I’m finding peace, but still feel empty like I’m missing a piece
Like the silence feel different, like I lost something inside of me
I been tryna find peace in the quiet
Mind run wild, I can’t hide it
If I feel too much, I go silent
I say I’m fine but I’m lyin
Put a smile on, perfect timin
Gonna play pretend, till i find it.
Play pretend, play pretend
I been stuck with no outlet
Every thought turn to a drought quick
I dont let it show on the outside
Nothing is aligned
My words arent rhyming
My time isn't timing
Like a weight with nobody to spot me
Like my brain isnt talking to my body
I been tryna find peace in the quiet
Mind run wild, I can’t hide it
If I feel too much, I go silent
I say I’m fine but I’m lyin
Hold it all in, but I'll never stop tryin
Put a smile on, perfect timin
Gonna play pretend, till i find it.
Till I find it.
Gonna play pretend till I find it
