Let's play pretend for a minute
Let's pretend I had a life
That I had real friends
And that I strive

Let's pretend that I'm normal
That I'm who I say I am
Let's pretend that I care
That I'm kind and gentle and calm

Let's pretend that I'm special
That I'm not utterly alone
Let's pretend that you're here
And I'm not on my own

Let's pretend that I exist
That I'm not my own enemy
Let's pretend that I'm a follower
That I don't follow my own melody

Let's pretend it doesn't hurt
That I don't die a little every day
Let's pretend that you love me
Because I love you in every way
