PerSay - Game of Pretend

Why is my hope always so cruel to me
Why can't things be the way they used to be
I never wanted anything I couldn't really get
You can't be disappointed if there's nothing to expect

The first time I saw you how could I know
That you'd bring me pain I'd try not to show
I used to always think that I am cynical and cool
But I am just naive, pathetic and a hopeless fool

So let us play game of pretend
And I'll waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

Every day's worse
Than the one before
And simply surviving
Became a chore
How did I get into this
And how do I get out
How do I get rid of all these
Neverending doubts

Play game of pretend
And I'll waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

There's no point trying to make a change
Refurbishing my fancy cage
Just do or die and nothing more,
"Just be yourself", gee, thanks, I'm cured

The thing is that I'm never sure
I'm too obsessed and insecure
It's getting too much to endure

So we just play game of pretend
And I waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

So we just play game of pretend
And I waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down
