You have been gone But never too far away You're the bedroom upstairs When the parties in the living room I often think of you How comfortable and safe you feel A place where I don't feel I'm pretending But even when I am, I dont mind it much It's okay sometimes to pretend I'm no different from a kid I'll play pretend and imagine a world Coloured better than this one I'm okay playing pretend No body else knows what's on my mind And that feels right to me I'll always think of you My safety and comfort But out here, I play pretend
