Play Pretend by Traverse Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're tryin' to stay on your feet
It's amazing how your heart keeps beating
Even when you're walking down the street
They can see it in the trail you're leaving
You're lamenting over past mistakes
Scrolling images of why you made it
Don't you think it's time to take a break?
Time is slipping, so I waste it thinkin'

[Chorus]
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you happy when I say that you're moving out?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
I don't need the kinda love that brings me down
Brings me down

[Verse 2]
It's the little things you find in life
That you never knew you took for granted
That are there to stay right by your side
Even when your world is looking slanted
So keep your head up when the day is night
Stick to swimming when you're scared you'll drown
Remember even when it don't seem right
When you lose your heart, you gain back some more
I'll show you now
Back some more
[Chorus]
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you happy when I say that you're moving out?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
I don't need the kinda love that brings me down
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you happy when I say that you're moving out?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
I don't need the kinda love that brings me down
Brings me down
Brings me down
Ooh

[Bridge]
(Brings me down)
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?

[Chorus]
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you happy when I say that you're moving out?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
I don't need the kinda love that brings me down
Did you really have to play pretend?
Are you happy when I say that you're moving out?
Are you tryna make a fake romance?
I don't need the kinda love that brings me down
Ooh
