Let's play
Pretend

Let's play dress-up
We'll be the patient and the doctor
You can fix my bleeding heart back again
(Can you fix me?)
Let's go to class
We'll be the teacher and the student
You can learn just how to be a real man
(Heh, be a real man)

Operator can you hear me?
A stranger's in my bed
Kiss me boy like you really love me
Give me the lie instead

Let's play pretend
Imagine life is how it should've been, oh
Let's play pretend
Gimme those lies
Of love that make more sense, oh

Let's close our eyes, imagine you and I set fire
And destroyed all of our sweet paper dreams
(Why don't you burn it all?)
Let's look inside all of the cracks of broken mirror
Change the script and play a happier scene
(You're such an actor)

Operator can you hear me?
A stranger's in my bed
Kiss me boy like you really love me
Give me the lie instead

Let's play pretend
Imagine life is how it should've been, oh
Let's play pretend
Gimme those lies
Of love that make more sense, oh

Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me
Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me
Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me
Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me
Perfection is so overrated

Let's play pretend
Imagine life is how it should've been, oh
Let's play pretend
Gimme those lies
Of love that make more sense, oh

Let's play pretend
Let's play pretend
Let's play pretend
Let's play pretend

Let's play pretend
Let's play pretend again
Let's play pretend, oh
Let's play pretend
Let's play pretend again
