This is the pre-release single of her freshman EP, The Recovery Project. The song talks about how Tiffany needs a distraction to break away from the person in the relationship. She knows she’s being played like a fool and that her friends tell her that she shouldn’t be with them. In “Pretend” she is...
[Intro]
I need a distraction
To break off your connection
Yet I want your attention
I need a distraction from you baby
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends think I'm crazy
And maybe they make a good point but I
Play pretend knowing fully that you can
Just tear my heart up again
[Chorus]
I can't seem to just say no
And I said I'd be smart
But you play with my heart
Boy you keep hitting on my phone
And I fall every time
I just can't seem to hide
[Refrain]
I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules
[Verse 2]
I'm just getting over
And my heart gains some closure
But you keep walking into my life
Every time I return and I
Run back to you closer
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends think I'm crazy
And maybe they make a good point but I
Play pretend knowing fully that you can
Just tear my heart up again
[Chorus]
I can't seem to just say no
And I said I'd be smart
But you play with my heart
Boy you keep hitting on my phone
And I fall every time
I just can't seem to hide
[Refrain]
I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules
I'm done being played like a fool
Done playing games by your rules
