Make Pretend (feat. L St. Germain)

wake up, shake off this makeup cause i don’t wanna pretend

i don’t hate all my friends.

late night, i wake up

with regrets,

let those lonely feelings fill my head,

i become skeleton

a heart not beating,

and a light-weight meaning,

just yours to see through.

so i’ll look into my mind,

i smiled through catastrophe,

despite all of this anxiety,

i’ll keep on going.

i’ll keep my heart forward and in place. i’ll chase a feeling, i’ll chase some dream, cause if its not this, it’s something better, if it’s not you, it could be anybody else. if it’s not this, it’s something better.

if its not you, i’ll make no mistake,

this dream-like state’s the only thing we felt.

i faked it and made it, you laughed and you hate it, a mistake to you’d mean there’s something better.

i just thought that maybe you’d see me better

if i pretended to be anybody else,

but i’ve been hoping i can rise above to tell you

i think i’d be better off with anybody else.

cause i don’t wanna pretend,

i think i’m through with this again.

the late nights i wake up,

i regress and let what you said fill my head,

and i don’t wanna make pretend

that im not a heart that’s beating

for a light-weight meaning,

i’m not yours to see through.
