​pretend (Aaron Gillespie Remix)

[Verse 1: nothing,nowhere.]
Yeah, I can be a burden, baby, I can be a psycho
They call me a mistake and wrote me off like a typo
And life just keeps on hitting me, I swear that I'mma fight though
So hit me with your best shot, staring down the rifle
I been looking back, riding on my motorcycle
I remember nights when I was feeling suicidal
I was falling out, boy, dead on arrival
Couldn't see the signs, I was living in denial, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
I'm on the edge
You're in my head, so

[Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Verse 2: nothing,nowhere.]
I guess that what I'm saying is
I'm scared of going back
I remember every struggle, every panic attack
You saw the life inside my eyes fade away over time
I couldn't pick up a guitar
I couldn't think of a rhyme
I needed something to believe in
Somewhere that I could hide
They told me I should start pretending
Always kept it inside
And I was hoping these emotions were a lack of serotonin
Never thought that my own brain could ever turn to an opponent

[Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Bridge: Aaron Gillespie]
When we run, we can go back in time
Back when you were mine
We run, we can go back in time
Who am I if I don't have you?
I'm no one, I'm a useless fool
Who am I if I don't have you?

[Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Outro: nothing,nowhere.]
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?
Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?
Baby, we can play pretend
