[Verse 1]
I've got a sickness in my blood, I think I'm fucked
Every night when I can't wake up
And every night that we're in love, it's not enough
All of the memories I've crushed
So raise my hand, I really can't (I really can't)
Don't break my heart 'cause it just turns back into sand (-nd)
And it's something, it's something, it makes me breathe
And it's something, it's something, it makes me scream

[Chorus]
So, go on, go on, until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend
So, go on, go on, until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend

[Verse 2]
I found your number in the phone book (I don't know)
By the mistakes and I was so shook, baby
I really hate it, so I won't look (Won't look)
Does my addiction really drive you crazy? Uh
Keep her waiting for me (Keep her waiting)
When the picture burns and we cut the trees (-nd)
And I don't have to wait to be lonely
Said that you hate me, driving me crazy, oh
[Chorus]
So, go on, go on, until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend
So, go on, go on, until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend

[Bridge]
Babe, will you trust me?
Just know I got you running round in circles just to say that you love me
And the drugs make me fantasize
You should you save yourself
Just to save my life

[Chorus]
So, go on, go on, until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend
So, go on, go on until it ends
It hurts, it burns, I'll play pretend

[Outro]
Yeah, and I just play pretend (Yeah)
They'll just think that I'm dead, but I'll just play pretend (Yeah)
Do you wanna play pretend? (Yeah)
Over again, I just play pretend
I kinda like that a lot
