Playing Pretend (Naked)

[Verse 1]
The ash of her cigarette still lingers
As she slams the door, I touch the tray with my fingers
Left me a note with scribbled cues and a twenty
It's getting late and still no sign of returning

[Chorus]
I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm long gone

[Verse 2]
The school bell rings at 3 o'clock, now I'm waiting
I'm pacing and replaying the promise you made me
Mothers and daughters reuniting with laughter
All I have are your empty words I sought after

[Chorus]
I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm long gone

[Bridge]
I'm not mad, I'm not sad
I've accepted that loneliness is not a sin
Just me and my notepad
The only time I let my sadness win
As time goes on, I surrender
I'll always remember that

[Chorus]
I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm long gone

[Post-Chorus]
Gone
Gone
Gone

[Outro]
I catch myself driving by one winter
The ash of her cigarette still lingers
