I CANT PLAY PRETEND

Am giving up on you

I CANT PLAY PRETEND

Why scream when you can roar

Why pretend and lend

You make love to me in the dark

Then show off to the crowds

How you are a good kisser

When your time is up

I won’t hesitate

To drag you out of my life

Like you were never part of it

Flames will burn frames

Like you were never part of me

Why talk when you can mock

Why hide your face like I got mace

Is it all an act or fact

Maybe if you don’t drool

You would be cool
