Anna Graceman - Playing Pretend lyrics
[Anna Graceman - Playing Pretend lyrics]
We're too afraid of what people will think
What if we were who we are?
Without the lights
The headlines and the bling
Putting on a show for everybody that we know
And for everybody that we don't
Playing pretend life's just a game
Nobody wins i'm not okay
Painting a smile to entertain
I want what's real not the charade
Done playing pretend done playing pretend
What if we did what we want?
Let's just forget about what they might say
Wе can prove everyonе wrong
If we stop posing like we're on display
Putting on a show for everybody that we know
And for everybody that we don't
Playing pretend life's just a game
Nobody wins i'm not okay
Painting a smile to entertain
I want what's real not the charade
Done playing pretend done playing pretend
Take off the mask let's strip it down
Show you the me i've finally found
Way underneath this grand facade
Nowhere perfect but at least I'm not
Playing pretend, no no
Playing pretend, no no
Playing pretend life's just a game
Nobody wins i'm not okay
Painting a smile to entertain
I want what's real not the charade
Done playing pretend done playing pretend
Done playing pretend done playing pretend
