Lights - Pretend lyrics

Once in a while I act like a child To feel like a kid again It gets like a prison In the body I'm living in Because everyone's watching Quick to start talking I'm losing my innocence Wish I were a little girl Without the weight of the world It would be nice to start over again Before we were men I'd give, I'd bend Let's play pretend Remember the time We had soda for wine And got by on gratitude The worst they could do to you Was check your attitude Yeah, when fights were for fun We had water in guns And a place we could call our own How we lost hold of home I guess I'll never know It would be nice to start over again Before we were men I'd give, I'd bend Let's play pretend And when it's the end Our lives will make sense We'll love, we'll bend Let's play pretend It's not going to be long Before we're all gone With nothing to show for them Stop taking lives, come on Let's all grow up again It would be nice To start over again Before we were men I'd give, I'd bend Let's play pretend And when it's the end Our lives will make sense We'll love, we'll bend Let's play pretend
