PRETEND

Woke up late, didn't wanna

Phone on red, full of drama

Left my bed like it's lava

Still wear pain like designer

Thoughts too loud, like a riot

Tried to scream, but stay quiet

Tell me I matter

Even if you lie

I've been freefallin'

Just to feel the sky

Tell me I matter

Or at least pretend

I don't wanna die

But I don't wanna pretend

I texted you "I'm okay"

You said "good," and looked away

But if you read between lines

You'd see the cracks in my spine

Been writing notes in my head

That I never dare to send

I don't want to be a burden

But I can't fake it again

Tell me I matter

Even if you lie

I've been freefallin'

Just to feel the sky

Tell me I matter

Or at least pretend

I don't wanna die

But I don't wanna pretend
